The kid is working a hard working job for crap pay, because thats the reality of being a teenager in Calgary and having a job. However, this doesn't mean you need to be arrogant and forget what it was like to be there. A small tip to that kid might mean a hell of a lot.

thats what i dont get about tipping, its so arbitrary who gets tips and who doesnt. sure your kid may be working his ass off but alot of people work hard and dont get tipped, I worked in a co-op bakery for 7 years. around the holidays we had people starting at 1230 and I often stayed 2-3 hours late so I wasnt getting out of there till 11or midnight. I never got a tip, what makes your kid so special?
I think the whole tipping thing has become screwed up, I've had some horrible service over the past few years with the labor shortage and whatnot, and yet I feel guilted into tipping at least 10%. Its no longer tip if you got good service, its tip 10% is required and if it was good then I scale up to 30.
