Gas dock attendant tipping

I understand that we are not getting paid as low as waiters, but it's not like we are getting paid ten dollars an hour. The way I see it, if you can afford to gas up a boat you can spare a dollar or two for us gas dock attendants.

If you are able to take a subsidized Stafford Loan, do it. If you have a credit card, use the loan, instead, to pay for your books. If you do not know why, take a Finance class or two.

TIP: Optional payment given in addition to a required payment, usually to express appreciation for excellent service; also called gratuity.
