Tipping is a courtesy... in principal.. ! Thank you is the standard reply for service provided.
I however personally grew up with the teaching to tip people for good service.
No, there are many people of all ethnicity whom are greedy... In the history of America, for 100's of yrs black were paid "O" !!!
Therefore black people did not create in American many of the criminal fleecing programs, they did not create the system where greed dominates everything.
Even gangs and hoodlums, did not exist for black people for 100's of years, its something adopted from white society and other European area people who brought those habits to America.
Even the most prolific black gangs don't do as much economic damage as the Mobster Gangs that have damaged the economic systems, of almost every professional skill craft, especially in some sectors of some states and cities.
One can't build anything substantial in New York without Gang (Mobster) demanding a payoff. Even at the Docks' of any port city, mobsters control how fast cargo moves, what moves and what does not move. It even controls who can work and who can't work.
American school taught history hints at the truth, but won't tell the whole truth, instead it glorifies those of malice and corruptions. People like Al Capone is a folk hero to white and people who the characteristic of white ethnicity. Bonnie and Clyde is still revered in some white communities, and even created a museum for cold blooded killers and robbers. People like Ted Bundy is like some strange Icon, and other individual savages like John Wayne Gacey.
Things people were groomed never to think of, because they were glorified in "motion pictures", as a format of sanitizing the savagery of these figures.
There's people still trying to crush small towns, trying to make them into some "fictional" frame of of "Mayberry" and others still trying to fantasize about Petty Coat Junction, and confabulating that life was as such, when it was nothing more than a fictional TV show.
Soap Operas still show women as if they are the 1950's model of female repression as housewives, who don't work... and sit around dressed in fancy cloths, while plotting and scheming and banging each other mates as if its the go to thing to do, and scamming about money to the level of plotting murders. This stuff has been promoting this level of
dissatisfaction grooming malice minded grooming for more than 70 yrs. People can turn out for a year, and come back and the script is always the same. yet, people have no idea of the subliminal messaging they are being bombarded with.
One should read some of the researchers material on how Media has been used in every format since the days of slavery dictating imagery that white society has been groomed to seek to emulate and measure their lives based upon such.
Today, people claim depression if they can't go shopping, if they can't go flaunting themselves in public places and our playing the temp and tease flirt game, until people can't even stay home, social distance and wear mask for a matter of months, to save their own lives.
It's Insanity... This is the world that Greed has Thrust Upon Society... Sex, Money and Power... and people have not figured out how to extract themselves from its grip.
I work, and have done so for many decades, I've had the fancy cars that some people dream about, multiple homes when some people can't get a single home and all such stuff but, none of it was a point that fulfilled the soul... nor did I loose my constitution of integrity, and did not compromise my dignity in the process.
As a working class citizen, I have not had a car payment in 20 yrs, I have not created debt in more than 8 yrs, and the only debt I had then was "for business establishment and business needs".
I now enjoy my car that is 21 yrs old and in top condition, and I have a truck that is 23 yrs old in top condition, and have absolutely no interest to buy a new vehicle. My home was built in the 1960's when they still did quality construction, which I have no interest to sell or move from, I can pay my basic expense whether I choose to retire or not, and I don't have any credit debt, and don't play to create any.
I'm not on a mission to see who can grow the oldest with the most money and the most toys... I simply get what I want, that I will actually utilize. So... I don't need to swindle anyone, scheme or cheat anyone and certainly don't need to impress anyone.
When I want work done, I prefer to let the money go to people who are struggling to make it, who can use the resources to maintain their basic standards of shelter and basics. I don't seek out Marquee places that over charge because of name recognition. I research the quality of what I need, and today, one an buy that all over the Internet.

As to Tipping... I tip people well, one I know many business owners pay people so low they can barely live and the people don't have a choice but to work those jobs because they need the resources. Besides, if there was no one to do those jobs, all the things people rave about of America would not even function.

I don't chase the fiction of provocative allure in display by many women, and certainly don't get hung up with some fantasy delusion about her sex, to trip myself up with delusions... I care more about what type of character the woman has, how she respects the principle of integrity, and who has a moral value concept that fits in line with the dignity of self.
