8/28 If you were to check into a reasonably fancy downtown hotel with
only a regular-sized backpack, how much would you tip the guy
who shows you to yoru room? [and you carry the pack on your back].
\_ As much as your generosity and budget allows.
This is a free market. He treated you nicely because he was
hoping to do a good job, and perhaps earn extra money on the
side. He could have done the same thing to someone who dressed
poorly. But it's a free market. He took a risk. He hoped to
get a return. He may not have expected anything. But it's a
free market. Anything goes. So next time someone helps you
out, remember, that person has already seen it all, from
huge ass tips to no tips, and no matter how much you give,
to that person, it's just part of work.
\_ POWs only had one hotel - the Hanoi Hilton!
\_ are they old? you should fire them.
\_ I'm a pretty generous tipper and I wouldn't tip him anything. In
fact, I'd let him know that in advance by telling him that you have
it under control and there's no need to show you to your room.
\_ Yeah, second the above guy. I would say "I am good, thanks" when
offered assistance and then not tip him if he insisted. |
