buddhamonster 08/04/23 7:17:48 AM #6:	I would not tip in that situation unless the guy truly went above and beyond. Like its one thing to tip a waiter or a driver thats making sub minimum wage and the entire system is designed around the idea that tips supplement that. I dont like the system, but as long as its in place, tipping those people is still the right thing to do. Its another thing entirely when Im paying you to do a job that you are already being paid $20+ an hour for to do. --- Hey Trashcan Man! What did old lady Semple say when you burned her pension check?
