psychology of tippers

(reminiscences of stock operator)



"i sometimes think

that tip-takers are like drunkards.

there are some who can't resist the craving

and always look forward to those jags

which they consider indispensable to their happiness.

it is so easy to open your ears

and let the tip in.

to be told precisely what to do to be happy.

it is not so much greed made blind by eagerness

as it is hope bandaged by the unwillingness to do any thinking."
