I don't get it. Someone explain this to me.
Millennials are closing in on 40 years old. They’re conscientious tippers. As a reminder for the elderly among us, millennials lived in a time before the internet.

If you’re going to try and malign an entire generation, at least try to understand who you’re talking about.

I’ve covered for more than one <30year old FO (that’s Gen Z, by the way, Gramps) when tipping the driver. No, I don’t want them to pay me back, I just want them to show up prepared next trip.

Generally curious. When I was a lowly panel guy sitting sideways making squat as a new hire here, I tipped. Because that was prudent and expected of us as professionals. Now?
I guarantee I made less than you did at my first airline job. I’ve always tipped van drivers and I am a millennial.
