Here's A Tip: Don't Buy Etrade
This morning, BBC Breakfast (think Good Morning America or Today) had a feature on tipping service workers. Their in-studio guest was a "manners and etiquette expert" whose first statement was, "Well if you go to a place like America, they really do go over the top on tipping ...."

Maybe we are "over the top" because we don't want our service workers "on the dole."
And somewhere, somehow, someone in the US decided that 15% is not adequate and the proper tip is 20% and more if you get extraordinary service.
Well, thats because 40% of all
americans are waiters and they like the golden rule.
