Paid off a hooker in your day have ya? I mean good god, you are so over the top with it I almost dont want to tip just to **** you off. I didn't sign some piece of paper when I came on as a pilot that states I need to carry cash. I dont fly anywhere that doesn't accept a card or I cant get what I need with one in short order.

I have worked in the service industry and my wife works in it full time, so you can take your sanctimonious attitude and go back to doing something else. If the general thought is, "we are not tipping the driver for driving, but for handling our bags", why does someone who handles their own bags need to tip? I want to add once again, that I dont think any reasonable person applying for a job as a HOTEL van driver doesn't expect to carry bags, but still, I will agree to disagree on that one.

In addition, the average hourly rate for a van driver is $14.06, not the same as someone in the restaurant service industry.
The effective national minimum wage is $11.80, so van drivers, not including tips are above the national average. I am not saying that is great money by any means, but it is money and it is for a job that requires no skill other than what every 16 year old in the country is capable of, so the barrier to entry is extremely low.
