If my reasoning isn't obvious to you then you don't understand and abide to the norms of our society. It's customary in our society to tip the bartender, waiter, valet, pizza guy, barber, bellhop and for people who are regular travelers, the hotel van driver who loads and unloads your luggage. Do you also stiff the waiter and bartender and valet when they service you?

What if you don't have the money to spend on the van driver. I can avoid ordering pizza, eating at a restaurant, using a valet service. When I go to work I take the transportation the hotel provides which is negotiated by the company. The company arranged said service and it follows the company should provide and gratuity.

Why do we speak English? Who decided that would be the ICAO language?
Why do we shake hands? Why don't we bow?
Yes tipping is an arbitrary practice built upon custom. Something tells me some are using the randomness of a tradition to justify themselves being cheap.

At the end of the day everyone should do what they feel is right. People need to worry more about themselves than who is cheap or classless. My previous comment about pilots and class was tongue and cheek. I don't go around judging people's level of class, mostly because who am I too judge.

On the topic of the tipping deal, in Arizona the minimum wage is $7.80 an hour. If you are a waiter / waitress though, your employer can legally pay you just $4.80 an hour because it is expected that you will at least make up the difference in tips, and they get taxed accordingly.
If you don't tip in this scenario you are actually costing the server money.
Don't be that guy.
