How much do you tip the AAA guy?

I wouldn't tip the roadside guy and I'm a big advocate of tipping. But I wouldn't tip him.

I've only ever tipped them in extreme circumstances (eg: when I had a tire blow-out at 1 am on New Year's Eve on a cold, rainy night)

gave the guy $20

$5 if the guy is friendly, $1 if he's not, or $0 if he spends the ride bitching about how people don't give him tips. One guy did that.

I gave him $20 because it was during a football game I myself was trying to get home to see and got him missing to come get me and he also took me to a custom destination which is supposedly against the rules.. they have to leave you where they leave the car.

It was Christmas Eve when my mother called AAA. She ran over something on the way to my apartment that messed-up her tire and rim. The AAA guy arrived just as my brother and I finished changing the tire. I think the AAA guy put some air in the replacement tire or did something minor (I have a terrible memory). My mother is an idiot and didn't seem to understand that the guy dropped whatever he was doing with his family on Christmas Eve to answer the call (his young son was in the cab of his truck), so we had better give him a generous tip. I don't remember the exact amount, but I gave him at least $20.
