overtips

Leaves too much

Overtips means to tip more than customary or expected.

Someone might overtip out of generosity, guilt, or unfamiliarity with local customs: She always overtips at restaurants where she's a regular.

The word can also describe habitual behavior: He overtips because he used to work as a waiter.
