What does your personal income have to do with how much you tip? Should this now apply to restaurants too. I don't know about you but at restaurants I tip based on service and and the bill total.
So, you're saying you tip the van driver even when you get in on schedule at midnight for example but are waiting curbside for 20 mins to get to a hotel that's less than 10 mins away?
If the answer is yes, you're only reinforcing bad behavior and an expectation of a tip even when their job is not performed properly.
