Tipping warrants extraordinary service, not normal, expected service.
I'm a working stiff, perhaps like you, and dont have $$ to burn handing it 
over to others simply because of social norms or pressure. But I do cough up 
a few bucks to show my appreciation when its warranted and deserved.
I'm also a CHEAPSTER, so those expecting a tip from CHEAPSTERs will have to 
average it out with the big bucks folks.
