As for me and Miss G we're happy to be home and be able to pass a bit of money around.

Be happy don't worry.......
Why do you assume my posting style will affect my ability to enjoy myself? I've been to Jamaica and while some stuff I see DOES piss me off it doesn't mean I can't enjoy the vacation I paid for.

I'm more than happy to pass the money around, I'm not going to sit there and hand it out for no reason though, I give away a significant portion of my income to charities in the form of anonymous donations, the last thing I care about while I'm on vacation is doing charity work.

Take that as you will but at the end of the day I want to make sure I can do the most good, not just fork over whatever is demanded of me. I respect money and respect knowing where it's going.

I take my time to thank those that do a great job, and I'm generally an extremely kind and caring person(unless I get into a heated debate on internet forums with random people....), that doesn't mean I can't question things like service charges, especially when I'm not even on vacation!

Would you rather people just show up and not tip extra at all when they assume the service charge includes the tip?
