Don't really see a lot of it in a rich city like Calgary I guess. Which only compounds my argument for tipping. When you pick up Pizza in a 50,000 dollar truck you don't need and don't tip.......

Now you need to compare hard done by stories? I was as poor as you can be short of being homeless, but I worked at a low paying retail job and did the best I could (even refused a couple of tips, since my job was to provide good service) in order to save money and pay my way through school, in order to have skills that allow me to make more money....without relying on other peoples handouts (tips) to subsidize my income.
To be clear, I have no grudge against people in tipping professions, good for them. I don't like the sense of entitlement that quickly creeps in, or the terrible hypocrisy and inconsistency in who gets tips vs who doesn't.
