And naturally the hipocritical jerk does not forego taking the tip.

The only ones I've ever known who don't like the concept of tipping
and don't are those who never frequent the same eatery more than
once... of course the cheap *******s wouldn't dare. People can have
all the reasons in the world but the only true reason certain
individuals (and even entire communities) don't tip is because they're
afflicted with CCBD (Chronic Cheap ******* Disease).
