.....and picked up tips off the restaurant table...
not having the benefit of a 'safe-space' upbringing, I'm all for responsible spending. that being said.....the drivers who transport us safely are getting economically squeezed like a lot of working people today.
unless its a real goat rope, my personal minimum is a finsky......ten if its an extra effort.....and at least an Andy Jackson on days like xmas and new years.
its in the tax return someplace....but I'm not telling the IRS where..

I have had to have a "come to Jesus" talk with a few new hire f/o's that we tip at DAL. They appeared to have alligator arms! Captains should tip more than a buck IMO, F/O's are only required a buck minimum. I guess some people where born in a barn. Come on, you made it to the big leagues.........it's a buck! Amazed!

Half the time I'm the only one who tips at my shop. It's embarrassing but not surprising in this age of people being raised poorly by parents more interested in money than taking the time to produce well mannered decent human beings. I know I'll get jumped for this but don't really care. The lack of tipping is definitely a generational thing. I see it constantly with my own eyes.
