To tip or not to tip

Tipping is my form of economic stimulus.

I won't give a dime to someone begging on the street.

But show me someone who is hustling at work and I am a very generous tipper.

In Japan they run after me to give the change (that I have left as a form of a tip).

In general I have a 5-10 percent tip rule, or just leaving the change. In Russia tipping is expected, but not demanded. Personally I tend to leave a tip if I frequent the place, as then the staff gives me a better service
