I wonder if it isn't just cowardice instead of generosity that makes us give tips.

Summary

This quote suggests that giving tips might not always stem from genuine generosity but rather from a fear of being seen as a coward. It hints at the possibility that people may feel pressured or obligated to tip out of social expectation rather than a genuine desire to show appreciation for good service. It questions the authenticity of tipping behavior and poses the idea that it could be driven by a fear of social judgment instead of true kindness.
