I'm with CBreezy, I make sure I have enough cash for tipping and if I mess up and don't have it then I get to an ATM so I do.
I almost never see fa’s tip, most captains tipped when I was an fo and I always carry ones and tip cause it’s a whopping buck or two a day whooptie do we make that an hour in per diem.
