I mean seriously, do you tip the person bagging your food at the store? The fueler who comes up and confirms your fuel load before darting off? The airport janitor when you're leaving the restroom? The plane cleaners that come in after the flight (depending on carrier ).

There are jobs far more deserving of a tip that don't expect one, and they don't necessarily make more than the van driver.

I've also worked as a shuttle driver by the way, just not for a hotel. Never expected any tips. Ridiculous.

Maybe I will when I'm not swimming in debt and want to share the wealth a bit. But that would be voluntarily sharing, not some arbitrary requirement that for some reason only applies to van drivers.
Exactly. It's the worst when you see the FAs tip especially regional. No keep your money, you make less than the driver.
