Most drivers take my bags without me having a say. Some do it and when offered a tip, say no thank you. I admire them more.

I have never seen a driver busting ass. Never. I HAVE had a handful take me on a tour of the area on the way to the hotel, pointing out things to do and places to eat. Those drivers deserve a tip.

I don't get per diem, I get M&IE. And yes, M&IE is designed to cover tips, if paid. Nowhere does it say I should pay them.

Do you claim your tips on your taxes each year?
