    So....Because we don't feel the need to dump $10,000 a year in tips we are lowlifes?
    So...Because someone else decides to take a crappy paying job it becomes our responsibility to supplement their income to make up for it?

    They aren't my piss bottles! Now you are right on one point...Anyone that tosses a piss bottle or trash out in the parking lot is in fact a lowlife, However, It is not my resposibility to tip the guy that decided to get a job cleaning up after these human pigs!

    Just because you make minimum wage certainly doesn't mean you should either.

    Because we don't feel the need to tip every idiot that didn't stay in school and persue a better financial course in life?

    Then quit!


    We are out here many, many weeks a year and were are constantly eating in places that have a wait staff and using other services that are necessary to the daily movement of the products that we deliver.
    To expect a driver or anyone else to drop the sheer amout of cash that would be required to tip every person that we encounter on a daily basis that provides us a service is unrealistic.

    To think that we're lowlifes for not tossing that much money into the wind is foolish.

    I have been tipped before quite a few times for going the extra mile for a customer but it is not something that I would ever start to depend on for my daily bread and it should not be something that anyone else depends on for their daily bread either!

    I not only tip the person who cuts my hair, I open my wallet and tell her to take whatever she needs or wants...of course my wife of 40 years cuts my hair. Happy Wife...Happy Life :yes2557:.

    That shower was not free, it cost at a minimum 50 gals of fuel. I do not employ those people if they want better compensation get a better job..

    I do not "tip" period. I see no reason for an extra reward for someone doing their #### job.

    What's next I have to tip security for checking my seal? I mean he had to walk out of his little AC'ed cage and sweat and all.

    The cashier for giving me my change correctly?????



    Guilty fools will try to compensate their feelings with money. It just makes both the giver and the receiver look foolish!

    For the insane prices they charge for everything at the truckstop, the company itself can tip everybody on our behalf!

    Only someone with no concept or respect for the value of labor denounced someone for valuing it in itself.

    I can live with being called a lowlife from someone so obviously hating having a dollar more than those with a dollar less.

    My dollars come at the extreme cost of my labor and are far to valuable to be wasted to earn some meaningless blessing from a looter.

    OMG. ... Only tip a waitress or bartender? Why even tip them? And when you do tip them I'm sure you leave them 50 cents and feel good about yourselves. Unbelievable.
