Refraining from tipping might be an interesting and/or useful marginal case to consider. I’m not saying that EAs should never maximise their own gains in collective action problems, and tipping could be a case in which they should if they’re sufficiently sure they’ll donate the money they thereby save.
That’s actually a really interesting question. I try to tip generously, even though I’m pretty sure I’d donate the extra money. I think that’s definitely the right call when other people are watching. It might not be the right call when you’re alone but I think it still may be because it’s important to show consistency and that the EA movement doesn’t come at the cost of the developed world poor.
