Yesterday I was on the shuttle bus from the Atlanta airport to the Westin Airport Hotel. The friendly (people in the South are generally friendly) driver announced upon departure and arrival that “I’ll be happy to assist you with your bags.” He was quick on his feet and aiming to please.
I observed from the back of the bus that none of the other passengers tipped the man, whether he handled their bags or if they just grabbed their own and uttered “I’ve got it.”
I handled my bag and gave him dollar. He smiled and thanked me.
If you ever raise the issue of tipping with others you’re almost sure to get opinions. There’s a scene in the movie Reservoir Dogs where they talk about it at length in an animated way. I’m not a former or current waiter that gets too excited about this, but I think it should be something you be aware of when you receive services from others.
Follow your conscience. If your inner voice says you should tip, then maybe you should.
It’s always good to have a couple loose dollar bills in your pocket.
