I haven't been doing this long either but enough to know that everyone complains when the van isn't there when it's supposed to. See I can make general statements too. It's their job to be there. That's like me expecting a tip from the passengers for providing safe on-time service. Please explain the difference. BTW I always tip when I have change and never complain. Just don't think I should feel guilty not tipping. Further evidence supporting my view of tipping the van drivers. Tipping when you travel |
I think per diem is also to cover food, what happens if you don't have any left after eating. Is tipping a driver for doing their job more important than eating?

Another thing that is going to impact tipping is the growing usage of credit cards. I never take money out of the ATM. The only time I come in contact with cash is if I go out to eat with people who give me cash and I pay the bill on my card. I for one don't plan on filling my pocket with dollar bills so I can participate in this silly tipping system. We should take a page out of Japans book.

If you can feel of about yourself after stiffing the van drivers, go ahead. I'd have a hard time looking myself in the mirror if I were that cheap. Those guys make crap, they depend on your tips.

Funny how the non tippers rarely say thanks or show any apprecition to the van driver for loading and unloading their bags. They simply walk away with their entitled attitude. You can't fix cheap and classless.

Well I am not sure what being polite has to do with tipping. If someone chose to be a van driver, it was a choice. Did they not know what the compensation was. Should captains tip new first officers since they also make very little and need every dollar in some cases to make it work. A tip was intended to thank people for great service not to become a form of compensation.
