But sometimes I do wonder if I am just unusually (or even unnecessarily?) generous in certain situations
That's how my grandmother always did things though when I was a child .
She wasn't rich or ballin outta control and making it rain on the gorls , but making sure the delivery person got a tip was always important to her .. to show them appreciation .
If we ever ordered anything , she had a tip ready in advance for the person soon as she hung up the phone from placing the order . Never an afterthought or "if they deserve one they'll get one" kinda attitude .
It was literally a standard . Ordering food? Don't forget the tip .
That kinda stuck with me.
