Gas Station Tips

Tuesday, September 28th 2010

I know I write about this one all the time, but each time I do it, it gets better! Another tip to the gas station attendant...

I wasn't really in the generous, sharing mood this morning but when he started washing my windshield there was no question. How can we let someone who performs a service like this go without tipping them? We tip a restaurant server an automatic 15-25% without thinking about it!

Now I'm starting to think $1 is not enough when my total is around $30. That's 3.3%. Ugh. Not enough. And they always show such gratitude and smile for the first time during the entire transaction when I trade $1 for the receipt. Imagine how happy they would be if we paid these servers 15-25% too! Or even 10%. They might start washing the entire car like they did years ago.

Peace :)
