Yes, but only so they don't pee in it. Think about it, it takes them 30 seconds to pour your beer. Say you tip $1 for it. That's $120/hr. For filling a glass and handing it to you. Mixed drinks is a whole 'nother bag, that actually deserves a tip (usually).

Since inquiring minds want to know, oofff got another of many routine infractions and exceeded the system threshold for a perma ban.

The system will auto-ban you for excess active points and also exceeding some number of total infractions.

Their pay relies in tips. I'll never get how folks making so much money can be so stingy about a couple of bucks.

While I agree with the second sentiment, the first is not true. They are not restaurant servers making $2.15/hr +tips. They are making a full wage.

But again, I agree with the sentiment about stinginess on van drivers.

Is that what happened to the forum know-it-all Burke, too? Been a while since he was here to call everyone a liar who disagreed with him.

I'm still shocked that FAs tip a single dollar with their 3 bags in Europe after an hour+ drive.

I try to make up for it.

So to be clear, the dinner/beer hierarchy of gratitude ....

International Long-Haul:
1) Senior CA on a GS: Buys all dinners and beers (possibly for FA's too.)
2) Junior CA on a GS: Buys dinners and beers (possibly for FA's too.)
3) Senior FO on a GS: Buys beers.
4) Junior FO on a GS: Buys beers.

Domestic:
1) CA on a GS: Buys all dinners and beers.
2) FO on a GS: Buys beers.

In cases of no premium pay:
1) LCP (if installed) buys beers.
2) CA buys beers.
3) CA buys beers and dinner for new-hires (unless they don't tip the van driver.)

And lastly LCP on GSWC:
Buys dinner, beer and covers all tips for all crew and makes at least 1 car/mortgage payment for newhires.
