I try to make a point to carry singles on a trip but don’t sweat it if I don’t. Now, if I could make up for it with a tip jar by the flight deck for a solid landing during crap weather I’d be a happy camper.

Tipping culture in this country is insane. Soon enough we'll handing singles to everyone we talk to.

It’s so insignificant to you, why do you care, and the van drivers get that tip amount they would have got if we tipped them.
You can’t play both sides. Either it is a significant amount, and you can understand why we don’t do it, or it isn’t significant should insignificant, you should just do it for us if we don’t.
Cool story, must have sounded better in your head before you typed it. Again, it is not my job to make sure you do the right thing out of the cockpit.

I bet you also give people the stink eye when they refuse to “help the “X” charity when they are just buying something unrelated at the store. You have no idea how much that person gives to that same charity or others on their own.

Even if I don’t agree with the tipping culture, I’m not going to refuse to eat with those who do. That’s what’s wrong with our society. Someone disagrees with you on 1 thing and you want nothing to do with them on all levels.
I would still not mind grabbing a bite/beer with you....but as we see, you can’t be seen in public with the likes of ‘my kind’, so it probably won’t happen.
Sorry, but in my off time I get to pick and choose who I spend my time with, not the company. You do not get to dictate that just like I can't force you to tip.

So what is the proper COVID conscious protocol for tipping?

Absolutely. Your hand should shake with fear so the driver knows you're taking this seriously.

Etiquette says you should lean away and extend your money as far away from your death breath as possible. Don't forget to turn your head the other way.

But you're really a bad person in the end because you're not staying home and saving lives. Repent for the end is near.
