Point still stands that gramps is out of touch with whom he directs his ire.

I do find it ironic that the parents of millennials (boomers) are the ones who disparage them the most. Maybe if they were home more instead of being workaholics then they would’ve known when their kids were born.
LoL, whatever.

We made this airline for you to reap the benefits of our hard work thru the bankruptcies and all the rest. This is the type of attitude that is NOT conducive to a homogeneous pilot group.

Again, what's wrong with you all? Why are you so dang angry all the time? JFC it's just $2....get over yourselves.

I believe you were the one who got upset over 2 dollars... See earlier in the thread.

I've been to a (very) few restaurants in the US that do this, and make it clear on their menu that they do not accept tips. I love them for that.

If everybody stopped tipping, that would force the change, but people are too illogically married to giving people extra money for just doing their job.
that looks like it may be changing soon.

Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., and Rep. Analilia Mejia, D-N.J., on Tuesday introduced the Living Wage for All Act — a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $25-per-hour and eliminate subminimum wages.”

Well that should raise the cost of, well, everything. And put plenty of restaurants out of business. Would be way worse than the affects f what’s going on in Iran.

I had a LCA bring it up to me on the last day of a pairing, I told him I didn’t have cash and didn’t have time to get some and he said he would’ve covered it if he knew and I should’ve told him.

Why would I tell someone that? Personally think the whole thing should go away but I’ll play along when I remember.

Why should it "go away?" What's wrong with you gen z & millenials? I don't get your ire here.

think I'm going to start tip shaming you. Why not, I don't have much time left here. Might as well highlight your miserly ways and publicly shame you.

JFC, it's $2. It's not like they're asking for your first born or something.

Why would you tip shame? Why do you care so much? It's only $2.

Surely you see the circular argument here. Does it matter or doesn't it?

I'll always tip $2. $1 per bag. The professionalism argument makes sense, and I agree with it.

But you can't go saying that $2 isn't a big deal and then go make a big deal about $2 and expect folks to make it make sense.

I've always tipped, $2 to $5 and $20 if I happen to be flying on Christmas. However, I truly think tipping should go away. TIPing started as a way to avoid paying people a proper wage. If you want to go way back, it started as a way to avoid paying newly freed slaves.

Not sure why it became something considered a must do, but business owners are laughing all the way to the bank as the push costs off to the customer. Potentially as late as your [great?] grandparents generation, Tipping was considered deeply un-American

Tipping should be for exceptional service or going above and beyond. Tipping these days has gotten out of hand. Why should I tip someone for doing their job? At what level of job is Tipping no longer guaranteed?

That being said I still tip the van drivans unless i run out of cash
