Y'all are also really focused on tips for waiters and servers, but the tipping phenomenon has spread FAR beyond that. These days you're expected to tip for EVERYTHING. Tip for getting your hair cut, tip for the people who change out your bed sheets at a hotel, tip for taxi drivers, tip for manicures, etc.

It has nothing to do with class in my opinion. Tipping a lot all the time just means you either have a lot of disposable income or you just don't really care all that much about saving the money that you do have.

I think from now on, I'll do tips the way edczxcvbnm does it, cause at least that makes some sort of sense. Tipping by percentage is just so silly to me. Carrying out a plate of lobster shouldn't earn you more money than carrying out a grilled cheese sandwich.
