Now here's the annoying thing. I tried to tip the young fellas at the Co-Op gas station one day because basically I wanted to and felt that IMO they deserved it. They provide me with more of a luxury (fill up and oil check in sub zero temps) than someone handing me a dinner or beer I've already paid for.

Looked sheepishly at each other then refused it saying they ran the risk of being sacked if caught accepting tips. Why is it not my perogative in this case to tip?
Because their job is to pump gas for you. Mind seem a little weird; when I worked at the Saddledome as a usher about 6 years ago, it was the same - we weren't allowed to accept tip.
