I handle my own bags.
Besides, I have 2 babies at home and a wife who works just to help cover child care costs.
We’re struggling just as much to keep afloat as the van driver.
The customers shipping their goods, the amazon boxes or car parts in the back of my aircraft don’t tip me, so how can I afford to tip anyone else when my average take-home pay is around $60k.
Between rent and utilities...
Food costs...
Car insurance on two cars..
LIFE EXPENSES...
Well you get the idea.
I have a family of 4 to look out after on a limited income.
I rarely tip.
Imagine making 60k a year and not having enough money to tip $6 a week. I make $45k and still tip at least a dollar unless they are 1. Super late and jerks about it. 2. Drive dangerously or 3. Don't even get out of the car to help with bags (unless they're older). Being cheap just makes our profession look bad.
