A short monologue by Ramit Sethi criticizing 'cheap tippers' and explaining tipping psychology: many people consistently tip the same amount (often low), claiming service as justification, but tipping behavior reflects the person's disposition rather than service quality.
I hate cheap tippers. When he says it depends on the service, what he really means is, I always tip less than 15%, and once a year I'll tip 15%, and therefore I will say it depends on the service, so I don't sound cheap. I once interviewed a waiter who'd collected thousands of tips, and he explained tipping psychology to me. He told me, people like to imagine they are highly responsive to service by the amount they tip. In reality, you're either a cheap tipper or a generous one. Most people tip the same amount all the time, and it's not about the service you receive, it's about you. I fucking hate cheap tippers.
