Do you tip a tow truck operator?

Let's assume he dropped off your car from the dealer (about 40 miles away). Would you tip him?

Damn, I messed up then. I was wondering why he was lingering around after dropping off the car to me.

If he doesn't fuck your car up, yes, give him a modest tip. If you don't then pray you don't get him the next time you need a tow.

I've never even thought to tip a tow driver to be honest. It's not like they're underpaid anyway.

Tipping is B.S.. I wish people could just get paid normally (e.g. waitresses, bartenders, etc). And a tow truck driver? Honestly I wouldn't think to tip them. Bah. It should be done rarely, for someone who you thought went above and beyond in their job. Ok I'm done bitching, carry on good sirs

some people do, some people dont. Ive dispatched tow trucks before and one thing i can tell you is the good ones that know how to hustle can make 70k+ a year in a 1 ton, heavy operators even more. So dont feel to bad for them.

Obviously though there are bad ones that make much less maybe feel bad for them lol.

He dropped off your $200k car and you didn't tip him? Not even a box of Lego heads?

Ass.

Hey man, my mind was on other things. I was busy making sure that my $50 ashtray was still in the car. Thankfully it was.

So, what happened to your car that required it to be towed?

They picked up and dropped off my car as a courtesy for some work they did. I had them put on a wrap ($5500) and install clear lenses on the corners ($1700) :(.

Since I'm broke, I'll be starting a gofundme campaign for the titanium exhaust. Please donate many coolcoins to me.

As a courtesy means no extra cost...

You gotta post some pictures of the car first, then we can talk about awarding some Coolcoins :)
