If you were to make a comment about it out loud, then we’re going to have a problem. Flights would be checklists and briefs only kind of deal.

So I still stand by my post. It’s customary to tip someone who is throwing your bags and driving you to and from your hotel the same as it’s customary to tip the person cutting your hair or pouring your beers... now if the van driver is unsafe or is rude or whatever then sure, adjust accordingly. But if it’s just about you being the “I’m not tipping the van driver because I disagree with it” kind of guy/gal and that’s the hill you want to make your stand on so be it, but I’ll be the first to make a joking comment on your lack of generosity and offer to tip for you and judge you as cheap and out of touch. If you can’t afford to give the van driver a dollar tip for putting your bags into and taking them out of the vehicle then maybe it isn’t the van drivers problem and more of your own.

I’m just curious......only “minority folks” (how quaint) clean up around tables, right? Or are they just the needy ones?

My son also has Asperger’s.....and your post has me wondering if you don’t have a slight case of it yourself.

and you can use all the ones you saved by not tipping as kindling to start that fire!
