Are you for real trying to make that argument?

It takes a special, stingy type of cheap b@stard to not use <4% of their per diem out of their often six-figure salary to not tip $1 to a driver for handing your bag. No more than $400 a year.
Get some perspective. Tipping culture may suck, but it does exist. |

I have a family member that is a server and even she gets paid 10.50 an hour in addition to her tips. I am not saying this is great money but we are talking about jobs that have zero requirements to start working at them.
hopefully we move past this. |

The standard tip in the US is a dollar per bag. It’s for the work he does loading and unloading your bag.

As I said before, I don't tip them for driving, they have to handle my bag. That's what they traditionally get tipped for (same as bellhops).
If I get exceptional service from the driver, I've got no problem throwing a buck or two their way. But the late driver, or the one who acts like it's an inconvenience to be there, or drives the van like they stole it, etc? Nah... |

No, they don't 'have to" handle my bag. They force it out of my hands because they want a tip. They "have to" drive the van to and from the hotel. If they are for some reason required to handle my bag, then that's their job, and what they get paid for.

Poor service nullifies the tip. |
Man, there are some cheap-ass pilots out there.

It’s hilarious watching you bleeding hearts try and tip a van driver in Europe or Asia....with a single US dollar bill.

Now that I fly to Latin America (various countries) I don’t carry local cash. I tip in greenbacks. Again, the drivers always seem happy. One place you never want to tip is Japan. It’s an insult. I hope that one day the rest of the world is the same, but in the meantime I’m not going to fight the good fight to try to change the world, unlike some on this thread. |
