    My tip is included in the mysterious "Shop Supplies" category on the bill.

    I tip jobs that people traditionally work for tips, food services, massage parlors, etc. I wouldn't dream of tipping a random mechanic otr but would consider it if I found a good local guy. I'd also try the bribery tip to get ahead in line thing but I do flatbed so rarely have any lines to wait in.

    No, that’s where you slip him a piece of paper with the words “don’t eat crackers in bed” written on it. :biggrin_25523:
