And that tip jar at the liquor store drives me nuts too. Dude, you are just standing there. You didn't do anything.

I gave the gas jockey at the Co-op on 17th six bucks the other day. He was efficient and very friendly - he made the effort to stop and chat and all with a sincere smile. I was absolutely floored at the quality of service. I thought $6 actually might be a little small, but I usually just fill it myself, and I've certainly never received service like that at a gas bar, so I was in a little bit of a flap about what would be proper. Does 10% seem cheap? Or, as the majority here seem to think that tipping for gas is excessive, was this amount okay just to let him know that I appreciated his effort?
