NOTIP: Nationwide Operation To Instill Pride
 

Back in 1967 Irving Fitzig founded NOTIP. I was one of the 500 people that
bought a pack of cards to hand out. You can see a scan he
http://donwiss.com/notip-card.jpg

The text on the card:

"Thank you. I appreciate your service but I am deliberately not leaving a
tip. This is not selfishness but a matter of principle. I believe tipping
is a patronizing habit that robs a person of dignity and pride. You should
receive a proper salary without having to rely on charity. Please pass this
card on to your employer."

Thanks to Google, Irving lives on into perpetuity:

That's a most novel concept: the idea that one can be a member of
society and enjoy it's benefits without paying for it. I like it - a lot! :)

The same could be said of people who evade paying taxes!
