Not dying anywhere, merely pointing out observations over the last few years and questioning what is the ire of GenZ and millenials not tipping the van/bus drivers.

I do it out of tradition (2 bucks a leg, 5 if it’s over a hour) but I admit it annoys me. To get 1s or 5s I have to drive all the way to the bank (15 min each way) then wait in line, then drive home all the way home.
That’s time away from my family on my days off and for what? Van tips need to get with the modern era. Hell, I’d pay 10 bucks a leg if I could do it by Venmo and spare the trip to the bank. For the older generations, carrying cash is NBD and tip money can be had in change. But for us it’s absurd, we don’t deal in cash and have to make special trips on our downtime just so Joe from FSD gets two bucks in hard currency.
TLDR: It’s not the money. Like at all. Times change, just hang a damn sign with your Venmo and be done with it.
BTW HK, just missed millennial 350A last bid. If you do decide to bid SEA, drinks are on me.
This is rich. Hard to get cash? Use your debit card and click that little button and select amount for cash back next time you get groceries or something else. Have the cashier break the larger bill(s) down for you. It takes all of 30 seconds and you do it while already there at the store. Not hard at all.
You guys a really twisting yourselves in to justifying why you don't tip. LIke I said, seen plenty of <2 year FA's tip. While FO's just walk away.
Cash is king, always has been always will be.
