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.
