It's embarrassing when uniformed crew members ask the van driver for change. "Here, I have this, but I only want to give you a little. Can you make change so I can give you the least possible? Can you break a five so I can give you a one?"
Grow up. Tip the damn driver.
Throw a hundred in fives in your bag and you'll always have a five to slip the driver. Go to Harbor Freight, buy a cheap screwdriver, and pry that wallet open. It may be painful, you'll live.
Oh come on now. So if I end up at the end of the van ride via a crazy re-routed day, with a single $20 in my wallet i'm supposed to tip them $20? Get real. Your absolutely right i'm going to ask them for change for my $20. $20 worth of service was not provided. This isn't a high end steak house. It's a van ride to the Hilton.
I suppose just mostly out of tradition at this point, I tip the van driver every time I have cash in my wallet, which is usually always. If for whatever reason I end up at the curb cashless, which does happen, i'll hit up my partner for a few singles. But to expect a person to precisely pre-arrange before a trip, or during their 4 leg day, to allocate just the perfect amount of tipping money is ridiculous. I could literally care less if my fellow crew members tip the driver. I do it, but that's just me. I don't even really want to but I do. And your suggestion of putting five hundred in fives in your bag, you don't possibly think that's a good idea. Sheesh.
