GMU, I'm not targeting drivers who slug sometimes. Also never said you couldn't ride if you don't tip, just that tips are appreciated.
I'm targeting bottom feeders who never drive, whine take 3, take 4, leave trash, slam doors, and are otherwise freeloading. Call me a mean guy, but if the shoe fits... |

Bottom feeders huh? I would say smart riders. Some of us have to pay up to $20 per day for parking plus whatever gas it takes to get to work, so if it means saving money everyday by slugging, it makes us smarter, not bottom feeders..

If you're "requesting" a tip, then it's NOT a tip. That's a fee. Tips are, by nature, voluntary. Sure, put the jar out but don't be surprised when you find only quarters in it.

So considering I'm saving you $20 per day parking (and you're probably getting a subsidy for that), plus gas, plus aggravation, you are merely confirming your status as a bottom feeder by not expressing your gratitude in the form of a tip.
As for what you save me? A total of 40 minutes of my day. That's all. |

Why are tips appropriate now as opposed to six months ago? What level of gas price triggers the "obligation" to tip? Is there a threshold gas price where above which we tip and below which we don't? (and, as I said on another thread, if I'm obligated to tip, it's NOT a tip, but a payment or a fee)

Let's see here. the people that drive pretty much do so since they don't have a choice. You pick up slugs to save you time so that you don't have to get up earlier, don't waste gas sitting in traffic. so we're doing you a favor, while in return we're getting favor by getting a ride to work. go ahead, don't pick up slugs, we don't care. we'll just find a carpool or take the train. slugging is a mutual benefit for both parties, and once you starting thinking tipping should be involved, it defeats the whole purpose of why slugging was even created.

kcwp,
A little bit of editorial license in your "quote". I thought a quote was just that, a quote, not to be edited to make it sound like someone else is supporting your position by you putting your words in their post. Maybe I missed something in English classes. NoSb SOV because you can, HOV because you care! |
