Skimping on tipping in tough economy
Not that everyone else is giving out high fives and saying pinch me, but those in the service industry - bartenders, waiters, hairstylers, valet attendants - have a particularly rough time when the economy goes down the tubes.

Have you changed your tipping habits due to the economy? Or do you tip them the same amount, of course depending on how well they do their job, because fair is fair?
