When I had my boat, I patronized the same Marina about 90% of the time to get my gas. We normally gassed up at around half full (wife's idea), so it wasn't like we're pumping hundreds of gallons of gas at a time. However the kids at the dock were always there to help with the docking, pump the gas, and help getting away from the dock. Because we were regular customers, they came to know our names and always greeted us. Like others have said, I don't mind spending between $5 and $10 in tips per fill up. It helps them out and it didn't hurt me a bit.
