I'd rather be remembered for tipping well than for being "that guy."

"That guy" gets remembered for being curmudgeonly, and is usually treated as such - a cycle that will perpetuate negatively until he either leaves - losing a customer to the business - or stops being "that guy."

On the other hand, I rarely have to wait for a table in local restaurants, I usually get prompt service, and occasionally - a couple of weeks ago at a local Denny's, for instance - comp meals.

Sometimes, a tip is more than a tip. I consider good tips an investment in my community and my future dining well-being.

Besides, as my wife put it: "Chicks dig generous guys."
