I think the tipping system is a combination of a broken system with the current American attitude of "I deserve it." Sorry, jack. If you don't say two words to me while checking my bag, it isn't the extra $2 US Airways charges that lost you the tip. Van driver almost kills me, stops 3 times or circles back to the airport twice? He doesn't get a tip. But you can bet he'll be pissed off and call me a cheap airline pilot if I don't give him one. It's the entitlement attitude a lot of Americans have developed over the years.
I say run it like Europe. Pay people a set wage rather than encouraging tips. Tips are supposed to be something to reward someone for doing their job well, not part of their base income. |
I hear ya! This is one of those things where the Skycaps & US Air should have worked things out without having to bog down the courts.
There is nothing wrong with the tipping system, in fact, you can make more money than on straight salary alone.....
