Tipping
Sir, —Congratulations to the vigorous South Island Publicity Association for advising tourists not to tip. Why should some persons in some callings just doing their job get a tip? All persons are protected for a fair wage. Often the tipper is worse off than the tipped. Where the practice exists some get tipped for nothing. Tipping prejudices the tourist trade and some countries seek to discourage it It eats into a meagre travel allowance. How sad to see the sort of fawning expectancy that speeds the parting guest and the embarrassment of diners wondering who gets what tip. Happily the big majority now refuse to tip. The antLtipping crusade will wipe a stupid half-custom, put all persons giving service on a common ground, save embarrassment, and end a habit that blesseth neither him that gives nor him that takes. —Yours, etc., TRAVELLER. July 14, 1966.
