Exactly.

I do tip, and quite well (despite my previous rant), just to be more polite. If it comes to $12, and I hand the person $15, I let the person keep the change.

There just should be no obligation to tip. And that website implies that peole ARE obligated to tip. Why should anyone be obligated to pay extra than what they're legally charged (i.e. what it says on the menu) for an food/service etc. Everything is overpriced as it is.
