Do you tip at an airport business class/lounge?

I do tip bartenders a dollar or two.

What do you think is happening in the kitchen when you order guacamole, silly?

If I’m at the bar (chase sapphire, capital one etc), I always tip the bartender. If I’m at a table, I don’t.

Yes most lounges I have been at, I have seen a tip jar at the bar only, not anywhere else.

Most people don’t carry cash.

That has zero relevance to whether tipping is proper in a given situation.

Not having cash is 100% relevant to tipping in this situation. Are you too low class to frequent airport lounges!? Everything is included so you’re not taking out a credit card or phobe to pay for anything. Thus how would you expect the OP to tip without cash?

I think most people carry a bit of cash, especially when traveling. Don't you tip your bellman? Or are you too low class to frequent hotels that offer this type of service.

I've never seen people tip anywhere besides the bar at airport lounges?

There is not a single thing I need to tip for in an airport. The service and experience are so bland now. I can wheel my own suitcase. Expecting tips in that environment is obnoxious.

So...you never consume food prepared outside your home, I presume.

You have never eaten in an airport restaurant?

The poster said having no cash is a “personal safety issue.” It absolutely is not.

Tell us you have never been mugged without telling us you have never been mugged.

I can understand those who prefer to use other methods of payment. I will never understand people who refuse to carry cash. Having at least a small amount of cash seems like the base level of "being an adult who is prepared for unexpected circumstances" such as power failures, merchants who only accept cash, muggings, tips, etc.

Tips are always optional. He did nothing for a tip. Tipping culture in the US is out of control.

Yeah a buck or 2 same as you do the bartender for the free drinks.

I am almost 60 and have never had a problem not having cash. I have it when I know I will need it (valet, paying someone cash for a service like a tutor, etc.) never had a power failure prevent me from paying, never been mugged, etc.

Isn’t it better not to have money if you’re mugged? Are you reading about people being assaulted from having nothing mugable on their person?

At my kid’s university the muggers take your phone and transfer money directly out of your bank account on the spot. Who needs cash?

Ive never seen a tip jar and Ive never thought to tip them honestly.
