TightwadsThere's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.
Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

cos ive been there and done that and it makes a difference to a persons lifesame as im always nice to people in call centres cos ive been there done that.
I used to tip cab drivers but then they got greedy.
I always tip food delivery dudes as well cos they deliver quicker if they know you're a tipper - this theory can be applied also to any service industry.

I've been there and done that (the waiting, not the call centres)And when I did it I didn't expect tips, I considered them a nice bonus from nice customers who I'd served well.
I also didn't take 25 minutes to bring the first round of drinks over when there's more staff than customers in the place, deliberately overcharge people in the hope they wouldn't notice, start clearing the table before everyone had finished, or pick my nose in front of the customers.
Yes, it's a service industry, I will tip for good service!
