Customer refuses to tip his waitress on a $300 bill after she refused to serve him a Sprite: 'She brought my check and charged me for the Sprite that she never brought'

I am very suspicious of the new anti-tipping culture that has arisen over the past couple of years. I do not believe that you should tip every transaction, especially not ones that involve flipping around an iPad. But it's basic etiquette, at least in the United States, to tip your waiters, chauffeurs, hotel cleaning staff, delivery drivers, and anyone who does your hair or your nails. These professions rely on tips to survive, and if you don't like that, then maybe you can't afford to get these services. We aren't entitled to have someone bring a burger to our door for the same price as it would be to buy one in a restaurant. 

That being said, tips are not just the customer subsidizing service workers' income. It also reflects admiration of a job well done, which begs the question: Does a worker deserve a tip if they don't do their job well?
