[quote=stoki;592996]Tipping is over the top these days. Everybody expects a tip. It is the hotel shuttle drivers job to pick you up and drop you off at the airport. He makes a normal wage, probably similar to the cleaning people at the hotel, but you don't leave them a tip for cleaning up after you? Restaurants and haircuts is another thing, so are rides to restaurants etc.[quote]

I actually didn't expect a tip for what I did. I had an interest in avaiation, that and I knew what it was like to work a long day and the need to get sleep what little the crew was getting. Anyway, since then, I have met some nice pilots and I don't make generalizations about people.

I guess I would feel the same way about someone assuming that they are owed a tip.
