Giving a buck to the driver ain't gonna break the bank, especially with the way airlines are paying these days, even the regionals. It's a tiny portion of your per diem. Like 1/10th.
If you don't wanna tip, that's your discretion. You can keep justifying it any way you'd like to make yourself feel better about not doing it. Like it or not, we will judge you. Especially when even the FAs are tipping and you aren't. Happy tipping!
Wow. Judge away then as it shows far more about your character than it ever will mine. If you can make a judgment about me over $1 I would hate to know what other things you rush to judgment on.
I mean god forbid what if I gave away my last few singles to a homeless guy the night before on my evening run and didn’t get a chance to get more? What if I gave my last few bucks to the cleaning crew or server that morning at breakfast? What if I spent my last couple bucks at McDonalds because I was hungry. I could go on and on. Now I’m a cheap prick in your mind?
This post of yours did far more damage to you then the people you directed it at.
