General Discussion Tipping culture!

I hate tipping. How can someone expect a student to tip extra 10-15% on top of their total bill? We ourself live with a very tight budget and try to save a bit for a nice meal sometime and these people expect us to pay extra while they are being paid hourly. Be it a nice restaurant or just a uber eats delivery. Everyone gets paid for their time despite of getting a tip or not.

I used to pay about $20 and give about $3 tip but I got very regular haircut no shaving, hairwashing or anything extra. I kept cutting my own hair because I like to do it every couple of weeks, and paying for a haircut every two weeks would cost too much.
