You’re encouraging the tipping behaviour by varying your tip based on arbitrary behaviour. If all people behaved like you you would be tipping more every time.


Decide where and how much you tip and quit thinking about it. That ends the whole discussion. There is no need for this weird game you are creating to give your self a little power depending on how someone behaves.
