I honestly enjoy tipping, actually over-tipping. I spent a lot of years working at jobs that had a gratuity component; I remember the pleasure I got from receiving a large tip. It was more than the money, it felt like actually being seen. Now that I actually have a reasonably well paying career, it feels like a responsibility to use a portion of my resources to help or make others happy. I get that some of it may just be feeding my ego, but I also know it feels right and I never felt bad about getting a good tip, regardless of the person's motivation.
