Thanks for the responses. I get the bulk of my gas from Shep's or Y-Landing. I rarely see islanders like myself tip. The people I see tipping look like they have been out on the water all day, or plan to be.

In my many years of working in retail, including pumping gas, tips were extremely rare and never expected. When I worked in a restaurant, however, they were. Likewise, when I worked construction and landscaping, I did not expect nor receive tips. This was back in the 80s and early 90s and I have carried the same approach to tipping forward.
