<p>According to Webster's New College Dictionary, miserly is an adjective relating to or characteristic of a miser, which is defined as person who hoards and spends as little money as possible. It also means pitiably small or inadequate. Its associative noun is miserliness, which means excessive desire to save money; extreme meanness. It is derogatory. So too is cheap. </p> <p>More importantly, references to my behavior or that of anyone else are inappropriate. The question relates to an appropriate amount to tip. Commenting on another poster's preferences are out of bounds. If you believe it is appropriate to tip $5 or $10 or whatever, you can say so without any comments regarding others. </p> <p>I was a senior manager. Not an executive! You have no idea of my means. None!</p> <p>As I noted in my comment, I did not observe what people who got off the train before Miami tipped if anything. Moreover, it is possible that someone gave the car attendant a tip before stepping down to the platform, which should have been clear. I take five to six trips a year on Amtrak sleepers. My observations suggest that tipping is not widespread today.</p>
