He needs to buy a car so he can get back and forth to school, which is in the city closest to us. He doesn't come from a wealthy family, has to do it all himself basically and he works damn hard. He's not a whiny kid he's worked since he was 13 in an even crappier job washing dishes on Friday and Saturday night seriously cutting into a normal teenage social life. Last year he worked 3 jobs at once, now he has two. So yes, that tip means a lot to him. If you don't want to give it that's your choice, I just don't agree.

I hope your kid's half as whiny as his dad is. Geez.
I get the strange urge to ask every employee of every business what their life story is, and rate just how hard their job is, to determine whether or not they should be tipped.
My assistant is a single mother. And she has to deal with me. Rough circumstances and a crappy job. I should probably tip her every day for doing her job well without complaining.
My brother's trying to get by as an electrician apprentice. He works his arse off and is trying to make enough money to get married and not start off too far behind. Maybe he just gets a little tip.
My uncle is on and off the streets. He doesn't work often, but when he does it's the kind of job that you wouldn't be caught dead doing. He should make a fortune in tips.
