I consider Mulder being insanely reluctant to tip the robots a beautiful callback to him totally stiffing the vampire pizza delivery boy in “Bad Blood,” another one of their all-time great episodes.

Oh, Mulder. I love that even though he was 99% sure he was saving their lives, he really, really hated coming off that tip.
