If I go get my own bag and I don't tip, im the jerk for not letting them do it so they can get a tip. I'm not a flight attendant, I don't have 4 bags on a 2 day. I pack light, I don't need you to handle my 10 lb bag, it's not worth the dollar to have them do that every time.
So, we tip them when they go above and beyond and you are complaining that everyone goes above because when they do, they get a tip and that's not fair to you? That's not how that works.
