I tend to tip a lot.
But I live in Australia where tipping is uncommon. Maybe a little in a restaurant, but certainly not delivery guys, taxi men, bar tenders, cafes etc. I'm absolutely in the minority when it comes to this.
A lot of my friends (both Irish and Australian) say things like "Why should I tip? They're only doing their job" etc.
On the other hand, I appreciate that tipping is assumed or expected in the US, so Americans who don't tip are probalby just being pains in the ass.
