Tipping the AAA Guy

KeithRichard · Dec 14, 2014

Is a tip expected? How much do you tip? Needed a jump start this morning and wasn't sure if tip was expected or he is just doing his job.

I would not tip him just for a jump start. Like you said he was doing his job. It would be different if he does something extra.

Recent my girlfriend ran over a nail and called AAA and myself. AAA got there at the same time I did. The guy said they usually do not fix tires but for an extra ten bucks he would fix the tire. I gave him a twenty and told him to keep the change.

This tipping bullshit has gotten out of control. I went into my dry cleaner the other day and there was a tip jar on the counter. People want something extra for doing there jobs, fuck that. I am a fairly large tipper when I go out to eat or get a haircut, but a tip for handing me my clothes and hitting my card for $125, keep dreaming.

I like going to Jersey Mikes for a sub sandwich. It's about $10 for a sandwich and chips which is fine. But then I niticed a tip jar the other day where you pay. doesnt make sense. Like Desert Nole said people are looking for a tip to do their job.

i tip the AAA dude....$10 to $20...always well worth it to me at the time...plus these dudes can all get into cars easily so if you piss them off they could come back and take your ride

if you can afford tipping and the person is extra nice fast and knowledgeable is a good deed on your part

I usually give them $5. I had one lesbian come out to jump my battery. I didn't tip her. Not because she was a lesbian but because she wasn't very friendly.

These

The attitude of the individual means almost as much as their job performance. A person with a bad attitude just blew any possible tip they would of received from me.
