I never really expect tips. Everyonce and a while I'll get one, but knowing I did something to help them the best way I can is a better feeling. I have had a (rich) pilot give me a 20 for just opening some doors, he even offered to call up to get me a job. Sometimes I'll be filling someones tires and get a tip, other days I won't. I don't mind tips, but I usually won't turn them down. I do get tips for what I'm already paid to do, but sometimes don't when I'll take the intiative to go out of my way. No big deal.
