Let's assume they make a modest wage of $10/hr and work a 40 hour work week without any vacation. That's $20.8k a year. Yup. They are bringing home so much money and are being selfish working hard to get tips.
Since someone mentioned Seattle and the OUTRAGEOUS $15 minimum wage. A standard work week there will yield $30k a year. Try living on that in Seattle or NYC.

I tip if I have the cash in my wallet, if not then I don’t. It’s usually a 50/50 thing. And no, it doesn’t make you a douche if you don’t tip. It isn’t like most van drivers are working on tips against minimum wage like many waitresses. You may be surprised to find out what they are making. Many make more than our flight attendants...
Yea it does make you a douche. It’s $1. Should be $2 but we don’t want to break the bank now do we?

This is such a stupid thread. Literally arguing about giving away money. Tip if you feel you must, don't if you don't want to or simply ran out of singles for the day.
Either way, not the end of the world and anyone that is going to make a rash judgment about another pilot simply based on a tip or not really is the one with the problem, not the other way around. I suppose when we go to eat we all need to show how much we are tipping so our fellow employees can judge us and determine if we are worthy of their respect and time?

Funny thing is, I'm not talking about minimum wage. So many people complain about $15/hr minimum wage because it's outrageous. If you have an hourly job in the US, $15/he is a pretty good wage. An average HVAC tech makes $20/hr or $40k a year.

Half the time they just stand there holding the back door open.
