I rarely even get good service now (especially at restaurants), because all of the staff think they're entitled to good tips and have no obligation for good service.
Why would you assume this?!

I tip well for decent service, really really well for great service and i tip minimally (and rarely none at all) for poor-to-horrible service.


Why would you tip for bad service? The problem is that too many people (1) do not stiff people after bad service and (2) too many other people are just cheap so that the service providers can just assume that those that do not tip are just cheap instead of knowing they in fact deserved that zero tip.
