I think for many part of it is they subconsciously feel guilty about being able to take such vacations, I'll reference you to those that speak to the income level of the tipped position as a likely example of this situation.
Unfortuantely, here will always be people who refuse to tip, just the way of the world. I'd like to think tipping is more a show of appreciation for good services rendered. Most would acknowledge that in our current system valets are a tipping position, and go with the flow.
I'm sure there are other DVC'rs who have been employed in the service industry (whether via a summer job, working their way through college or even as a displaced worker in hard times) and remember the drill of working a menial job for meager pay, depending upon tips to make a living wage.
fyi, for those who use gift cards/coupons etc, when dining, the tip is customarily allocated on the pre-discounted amount.
