Good lord, those "showers" in Europe are way better than the ones we have here in the states. That's it... I'm moving over there today.
I've never tipped a shower attendant but you do and that's qreat.Truck driving is a thankless job,how many times have you got tipped by the receiver with maybe giving you box of their product just to say thanks and they appreciate you're ontime and loyal service?
Tipping is way overrated and grossly over used. Do the job you are paid to perform and accept the wages for said job. The service industry in this country has raised a "I am special, i deserve more" mentality. Tens of millions of people go to work each day for pay they have negotiated and that is what they get, nothing more, nothing less. If you are not paid for the job what you think you deserve, QUIT and go find other work. Don't expect others to supplement your paycheck.
I agree,some ppl think you have to tip and that's just wrong.Some restraurants require it.Forget that,I tip depending on the service.
I never tip, if they want a tip, they should open a tavern within walking distance, then I'll tip them
It's just a sign you appreciate someone actually putting effort into their minimum wage thankless job that really would suck. Not sure anyone shows up bright eyed and bushy tailed to clean toilets and showers. If they do a good job I will leave 1 or 2. Depending if I left a 1 or 2 ... If there is a line of people waiting, rooms waiting to be cleaned, and the attendant is "on their break" ... no tip. Take your break when it's slow.
The Man said " Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you." This song is to all of you that don't tip the attendant for whatever your unhappiness is at the time you shower.
It has to be one of the most humbling jobs anywhere. Like I stated I always give a few dollars because it's a thankless job. I don't think as a child or teenager, anyone envisions themselves growing up to clean showers at a truck stop. I'm certain anyone doing it, is because they certainly have bills to pay, mouths to feed. Christ also said, " What you have done to the least amongst you, so have you done to me." I have 0 doubt in my mind that several of the people posting on this thread are some of the true nasties. The other thing I have 0 doubt about, is on the judgement day, Christ will say " You cleaned up that nasty ####s squaller all those times, step inside please."
