I agree... it's leftover prohibition era nonsense.
The problem is we have certain professions where tipping has become customary, like valets or people that handle your bags. Certainly it is in your best interest when people are handling your property. I usually only tip at the cage if I'm making them do a lot of work, like changing bills or giving them a bunch of tickets at once.
The worst thing is how employers are abusing the tip function to guilt you into giving the person who hands you a sandwich another 20%, essentially supplementing what should be a normal wage. No reason to tip if there is no service to tip on, I tend to think a person processing a handpay falls more into this category.
