Haven't checked snopes, but there was a legend at our airline.
Black Captain with crew waiting for PU, guy drops bags, tips him well. CA bought every round at hotel.
Probably same story at PA/DL/AA/US/BN/EA/.......on and on.
As for uniform, too lazy to remove crap outside hat and uniform coat for quick stops or eats.(Tie and ID are optional). Some here seem to have some mental condition about the slightest display outside the airport such as quick stops.
I am in agreement about guys wearing the full uniform at longer functions for no other reason than personal vanity.
