Can we change the thread title to "Do you tip?" so it gives the impression my original topic was of interest?
Also my company charges a convenience fee, 2.99 I believe. We get about $1 of it. In my location, the population is low compared to the amount of area we cover. I very easily will spend that much in gas to get to and from one house and can take up to 45 minutes round trip. I can understand where they are coming from, and regardless I'm always cheery and upbeat even if I know they're going to stiff me (only chance I have to change their mind), but it can be frustrating to know you just spent the last hour working and made $3. It evens out usually though, most nights in a 4 hour shift I average about $40 in tips and maybe $10 in the convenience fee charges. I could probably be doing something else, but I enjoy driving and listening to podcasts on the way there, also low stress most of the time.
