Americans are weird. I remember a few years back how people in one state—don't recall which—voted in a referendum to triple minimum wage for restaurant workers, and restaurant workers fought the increase back to the previous minimum wage because they were afraid of losing tips.

Today's rant: burying a loved one in Lagos. In Yaba, it's ₦4.5 million for a grave. Want to cover up the ugly bare concrete with some marble? That's an extra ₦2.2 million. Small print: price excludes funeral services and incidentals like a hearse, casket, pallbearers, etc.

@Kayodeine That's a fair point. I don't think people are necessarily against tips or tipping in general. Nigerians, for example, will tip you just for hailing them. All the umbrage comes from people bristling at a compulsory percentage, and the sense of entitlement that drives it.
