Its like you see tipping as some sort of private social security program. IMO, if you have a good experience and the wait staff or whomever provide good food/drinks/service, then you give them a tip in appreciation. I don't see tipping as something you should spread around or commit to only after calculating their personal circumstances. Contributing to orphanages is a whole other thing.
