You really have it wrong, nobody is forcing me to go eat at Earls, and nobody is forcing me to tip either. I may be looked at as a cheap clown, but some people know they're cheap and its par for the course. Thinking that because you live in the US or Canada means you have entered in an implicit contract to tip x% is false.
I was using 18 because the majority of the people in this thread are basing it on American values, but yes, I'm well aware age of consent here is 16. Using sex with minors was a bad example, as that is an implicit legal contract, not an implicit social contract.
I picked a better one of having sex with your buddy's girlfriend. When you are friends with someone, and that someone has a girlfriend, the two of you have an implicit social contract that you will not try to hook up with her. Nobody is forcing you not to, and nobody is forcing you to be friends with this person either. You are of course, free to do so as you please. However, you will be viewed as a giant douchebag if you do, and you will lose a friend. And hey, some people are just giant douchebags who will hook up with friends' girlfriends, and that's just par for the course.
