But your right. That doesn't make me morally a good person, but in that instance it felt morally and ethically good to me.

Not for those that actually achieve psychological maturity in adulthood.

It has nothing to do with the money and everything to do with the content of ones character.
Grow up.

Ok. What other aspect involved in this story is an indication of their morality or ethics?

Cards on the table though mate... I bet the waitress you tipped $200 was really pretty and pretended to flirt with ya, right?
Call me jaded, but I don't believe in the concept of people doing anything, simply out of the kindness of their own heart... whether its just a simple personal ego boost, or for some kind of material gain... theirs always an underlying motivation.
The plight of the human soul, an understanding that it is equally important and soothing for the soul to give than to receive. When I say give, I mean an unrestricted desire to contribute by any means necessary, whether that be by labour, support, money, protection, accommodation. Some folks have these traits in abundance, others do not.
It wasn't a lot but I thought it was decent. I guess I am somewhat conditioned as I grew up working on my Grandparents farms picking fruit and veggies.

I will disagree. I think there are people that do things out of the kindness of their hearts and that can be shown through their acts.

Bingo. You get it.
It does not make you a moral or ethical person. It makes you feel morally and ethically good, which is where the posted I was responding to was coming from. The emotional aspect.

Progressives = The greatest most awesomest people in the whole wide world. We should all aspire to be just like you guys.... or else.

It does make you a moral and ethical person in that instance. When you do something for someone, without expecting anything in return. That is the very definition of morality. Ethics may be a different story, since they do not mean the exact same thing.
Obviously you have never worked your ass off on a job then got stiffed by some ass hole with no morals or ethics

That's because the content of ones character trumps any propaganda construct being pushed, and always will. In a world of diminishing responsibility and positive proactivity, you did a good thing, it will be remembered and you have good morals and ethics, so too others who conduct themselves such as how you have.
Good stuff
That makes no sense.
Using the same logic, anyone that tips their Hispanic waiter/waitress at the restaurant would also have "good morals and ethics".
The ability to hand over money to another individual for the work they have done is in no way indicative of the individual's morals or ethics.
It's absurd to even suggest it.
