Thank you for proving my point so perfectly. If you bothered to read, I was simply giving examples of reasons people give, which are valid. You in perfect fashion, decided to make a character assumption just like I said people would do.

$750 a year in singles adds up. For someone with a family and a spouse out of work, yeah that’s a big deal. That’s a month or so of groceries, couple car payments, perhaps a months rent for an apartment, several months of medical premiums, paying off debt etc. There is a very real chance the driver is making more than the regional FO tipping him. Explain where in my contract it states how I am to spend my per diem?

My point is stop judging people you don’t even know based off such a weak argument. Not that I have to repeat myself, but as stated I almost always toss a tip, my wife is an unemployed hospitality worker that did work for below minimum wage, using tips to prop up income. My family literally uses tips to pay bills and even I don’t get hung up like some on here do. Insanity.
