This is killing me!!!

I wouldn't mind paying for something that I actually use.
I parked myself.
Tied myself down in an out-of-the-way little corner of asphalt, and was
there for about an hour and half.
$15 would buy me a week of tie-down at Minden.
Besides, as others will verify, they make their money from hangar rentals
and the biz jets.

Actually, I don't even really mind the fee, it was just surprising.
What really gets me is the $3.73/gal.
How can it be $1.00/gal more for fuel at an FBO that undoubtedly has
higher volume than where I get it 30 miles away?
That is the part that is robbery.

Ok.. So.. since you are going to have to pay for it..

Pull up in front like everyone else. Let them chock and park you.

The cost is easier to explain. Thats how they make their money.. Either
buy fuel or buy parking.

And its not robbery.. You can choose not to go there and choose not to buy
their fuel at that price.

How much is the cost of convenience?

When they park you and stuff are you supposed to give a tip?

Why tip for something that you're already being charged for?

Do you tip in a restaurant?

Yes. Why do you ask?

Because you paid for the food. The analogy to your remark is pretty
clear...

It's a bad analogy. In a restaurant I pay for the food and tip for the
service. If I'm being charged directly for parking why would I tip for
parking?

The analogy is sound...You would pay for the parking spot and tip for
the service.

With that being said there seems to be no rhyme or reason to tipping.
It seems to go by custom. It has nothing to do with what you have
already paid for. Take the barber shop for example. Why tip the guy
or gal when you just paid for the service? I don't know the answer to
that question, but it is customary to tip at the barber or a hotel room
for the maid service (whether you do or not is up to you). It is
perfectly logical to ask if it is customary to tip the lineboy. So
I'll ask the question too...is it?

Do you tip the guy at the valet parking lot?

You would tip for parking if they were going to park you promptly (TIP:
To Insure Promptness). You would give a gratuity if you were especially
pleased with the service.

With that having been said, too many use TIP incorrectly, so that when
you DO TIP, the wait staff has no idea what it really means (many have
expected that to be their gratuity).

Ok, on to the real question. No, you do not TIP the line person as they
are not being paid the lower minimum wage that restaurants are allowed
to pay. The airport personnel are involved in interestate commerce and
are subject to the Federal Min Wage (or state if it is higher).

And since I'm not a lawyer, do not pretend to be one on the Internet,
and do not stay at a Holiday Inn Express, do not take anything I post
here as legal advice. Doing so makes this posting null and void.
