If I get a Taxi , the driver always expects a Tip. If I get the Bus the driver does Not expect a tip. what is the difference?
My Pension does not cover me for giving tips to people who earn more than I get from a pension.

So still being a sucker I do tip. but the custom should be banned.

Be like Tommy Cooper, give them a tea bag and say here havea drink on me.
