The Case Against Tipping Michael Lewis’ essay‚ “The Case Against Tipping”‚ is an arguable topic that can really get you thinking. Ever wonder why people tip?

The characters flow into one another and sometimes seem to shift characteristics (or hats). Moreover‚ the play is indeed very repetitive. The
