Fuck that. I literally SAVE lives in my line of work. I have pulled people out of burning cars and didn’t get as much as a “thank you”. I recently put an addicted person who as on fire out (and damn near burned up doing so) again without as much as a thanks. But I agreed to the terms of the Job before I met that person. You want me to tip you for taking my shit to the wrong address (I’m walking down the block to get my “to the door delivery”) or dropping me off a block from my destination with some “the app says this is the location” shit? I understand that’s how you eat and I never give a bad rating but I’ll be damned if I break myself so you can eat better when there was no tipping when this shit started. But then again I’ve had some excellent trips where I tipped Meh

YES!!

Whenever you buy a personal service you should show that you personally appreciate their service beyond the price their boss expects you to pay.

When does gratitude demand a gratuity?

How should kindness be rewarded? Is it truly its own reward or is it our duty to see that a good turn done to us, by a total stranger, has its payback somewhat
