Tipping Rule Number 5

Rule number 5: The “it’s MY money” rule: When I pay for my meal, and the server comes to pick up the money from the table, if they ask “do you want your change”, then automatically NO TIP.
My reasoning for this is the simple fact that it is MY money, and that if I WANT to give a tip I will. Asking me for my change, in my mind, is almost like robbing me. By asking if I want my change, you are assuming that I want to give you a tip, whether your service was good or bad. The thing is tips are EARNED, and should not be an expectation.
