I tip five dollars for each ride.
I've never seen, nor heard a van driver complain about a crew member, and I've never seen nor heard one mutter under their breath.
I've not had hotel personnel complain about crew members, but over this past year, I've had a number of hotel personnel express thanks for crew members staying at the hotel; in several cases, crew made up the bulk of those staying, and the hotel recognized that. How one treats hotel staff, including the driver, may have some part in how one is treated.
I know crew members who have been terminated for treating hotel staff badly. I don't disagree. Your behavior is not only a reflection on the company, but on you.

Just think how much you’d have if you invested that Starbucks change and drank the hotel and airplane coffee instead. You’ve missed out on years of compound interest in your favor. I hope come retirement age, you will not have to get a part-time job to move out of your parents house..
Your bipolar trolling is showing.
You know that it’s extremely difficult to be 100% frugal all of the time. I do allocate few dollars here and there for purchasing things. My parents pay my car insurance and gas each month, so that helps me out big time

Have some pride in your job, you made it! You’re an airline pilot. You should be a leader, and you should hold yourself to some sort of ethical and moral standard. Stiffing the van drivers because “you don’t see the point” or “you don’t want to cave to social norms” is weak. Stiffing them because you don’t carry cash is just poor planning. Get your sh!t together and pretend you’re a professional.
