This is not about tipping in restaurants, it’s about tipping bellboys, shuttle drivers, or if someone comes to your house to fix or install something.

A few weeks ago a friend took an airport shuttle home and she said she felt bad that she only had a dollar to give the driver so she gave him nothing. She felt the dollar would be an insult.

That makes no sense to me. A dollar is better than nothing isn’t it? Plus, there’s several people on the shuttle, the tips would all add up.

I usually would tip $2—$5 for that sort of service, depending on the situation, but I would give the $1 if that’s all I had in small bills.

I thought of this Q, because of @jca2’s recent Q about tipping.
