Unreal............some of this tipping stuff has gotten out of hand. I know you are a generous tipper as I am. These folks are ridiculous

Gosh, I have had to use a tow truck a few times and never even thought of giving that person a tip. Isn't he getting paid for a job? Unless he is getting paid less then min. wage then he doesn't fall into that category, does he? Ask him if he reports his tips to the govt. as wages earned. That should be interesting!


ps: he would still be standing there waiting if it was me....

Tip the two truck? That's crazy. The last time we had a tow home the driver freaked me out so much I had my big 6'4" son go out and stand with his dad.

Ahhh, hope it's nothing serious. The word "prodecure" in medical terms always freaks me out.

2 years ago I only had the "5 mile" tow with AAA and the SAME driver showed up within 30 minutes and towed my car to the dealer 18 miles away....He SHOULD have charged me 8.00 per mile after the first 5, but he didn't....I gave him a VERY generous tip....!

Yesterday, I waited 2 hrs-45 min and he towed me 3.6 miles to the shop!....Like I said, I made the shop owner blush!!!!

I tip just about EVERYONE that performs to my satisfaction.....Heck, last summer I even tipped the lady cleaning the restrooms at a campground we stayed at cuz they were soooo clean!
