Yes, and they include US airports. After my second or third time during my first week as a newhire, I gave up on correcting them and accepted it as normal from ramp crew, fuelers, baristas, etc. But not when FA's and gate agents did it, they should know better.

Yep. I think that's an overlooked revenue stream ... hanging around the hotel lobby in your uniform and collecting tips for carrying luggage.
