I'll let my ignorance show: David, this directed somewhat at you as
you raised the issue but others please pipe in. I don't understand the
reasoning for tipping somebody who is doing their job and getting paid
for it. David, you imply that you generally get tipped for a haul. I'm
not being rude just uneducated I guess. You get paid (either self
employed, or from the shop you are working for), but is tipping
expected? If so, why???? I am not condemning, I just don't understand.
I work for a company but don't get tips from people I help or do my
job for.
Sorry for seeming stupid...
