Only in the pilot world would people project their self created values onto someone else and then be upset if their ideas are rejected.

Really, you can't make this crap up and it be any stupider.

The same guys who refuse to tip are probably the same ones who stand in line at Starbucks for a $5 mocha latte with lite soy instead of drinking the free plane coffee.

Replace "pilot" with "everybody" and "self created values" with "societal norms" and your post would actually be accurate.

No.

I said what I said the way I said to mean what I wanted it to mean.

Thanks for proving my point unequivocally though that people change the narrative to fit their own selfish needs.

The fact that you are presumably a pilot makes it even more succinct.

I handle my own bags.

Besides, I have 2 babies at home and a wife who works just to help cover child care costs.

We’re struggling just as much to keep afloat as the van driver.

The customers shipping their goods, the amazon boxes or car parts in the back of my aircraft don’t tip me, so how can I afford to tip anyone else when my average take-home pay is around $60k.

Between rent and utilities...
Food costs...
Car insurance on two cars..
LIFE EXPENSES...

Well you get the idea.

I have a family of 4 to look out after on a limited income.

I rarely tip.
I hope you leave enough mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, salt and pepper packs for the other hotel guests.

ohh, I know that is what you like to think in that little idealistic world that is all in your head. I am just replacing it with the real world truth.

Why don’t you tip $2 as tipping $1 already makes you feel so good about yourself?

That sounds like the same disdain you have for van drivers because they expect a tip for lugging your over packed baggage in and out of the van.
