Tipping flight attendants happens often enough that it wouldn't be considered bizarre, especially in business/first class. But it's not the norm, no.

This comment made me gag.

"Tipping culture" has definitely gone too far.

What about the pilot and other members at front? Do the tipped flight attendants kick some bucks over to them?

It definitely feels like an abdication of responsibility (and obligations) of the company that those people work for.

Does one leave a flight attendant tip in the seat or in that envelope in the seat pocket? (Handing a tip to someone directly feels so gauche, like I'm pretending to be some fancy person.)

Do people choose to dine on airplanes? Do airlines even still serve meals?

Or the checkout workers at Walmart?
