P.S. Tipping a van driver is nuts. I was talking with one in one of the upstate NY overnights... he is a "maitnence specialist" and actually refused a tip. He said that "not having to unclog a toilet, clean up a mess, or fix something for 20 mins. is gratuity in itself." I thought that was pretty classy... then later he took us back to the airport (stand up overnight) and he said (and I'm paraphrasing to the best of my memory):
"Ah fellas not to bring the tip conversation back but, you're the ones that should be getting a tip---5 hours ago I brought you to the hotel. Since then I've taken a nap and watched a movie..and I'm getting $14.50/hr to do that all night every night! You on the other hand flew in and now you're on your way back out all in the late night/early morning. That sucks!"
