If somebody wants me to do something I don't want to do I just say:

[I]I want to do it but not as much as I don't want to.[/I]

Penny wise pound foolish.
An ounce of prevention has zero street value (ok, I just made that one up)

Dollars are getting useless too. Lots of merchants don't want to receive bills larger than twenties but those don't buy much either. Also, the merchants roll their eyes if you try to provide exact change and many of them can't mentally process (and are unwilling to punch in the numbers for the machine to tell them) you giving them inexact change to receive simple coins arrangements back.

If you order a Pizza (in Germany) from a Pizza delivery service it's not custom to give tips. They almost always have not enough change so they are trying to force you to give a tip.

They tried this several times. Last time I said: "That's not my problem."

Giving a tip voluntary is fine if you want it but these methods aren't fair.
