Advice | Carolyn Hax: I never tip the doctor or chiropractor after my visit. I had a friend who was a massage therapist who had her own business and did not take tips. Am I living in the past? Should I just get with it?

Of course, I feel terrible checking the “none” box. But it will not let you go on to paying until you have checked something. I checked none. Am I terrible? These two women work together and keep all the profits and are well paid. Once upon a time, tipping was for people who were employees and being paid a base rate. Like waitpersons, for example. Or people who do nails. I tip generously in those situations.I am not sure why this bothers me so much.

I never tip the doctor or chiropractor after my visit. I had a friend who was a massage therapist who had her own business and did not take tips. But recently I went for a massage, and she expected a tip in addition to her already ample price. Gosh, this just really annoys me. Am I living in the past? Should I just get with it?General answer is either tip or own your “none.” I cannot really help you with the changing-world thing.

They may still be feeling that income loss. So if you are able to leave a tip, then seeing it as a good deed and, selfishly, a way to keep these businesses open and available to you, might temper your resentment a bit.Why not just tell Tipping Point they are a cheapskate in actual words and be done with it?Because that is not what I said. TP wants to leave zero tip but feels bad about it. Therefore, TP has only two choices: 1. Feel bad. 2. Leave tip.
