Do you tip at an airport business class/lounge?

[Anonymous]

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.

I do tip bartenders a dollar or two.

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

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?

Where are all you people going that you live in constant fear of being mugged? I’ve wandered around Brazil and S Africa and had cash on me without fear of this.

I am not worried about being mugged. I am simply responding to the person who said those who are cashless are at a safety risk. I asked what safety risk and the response was being mugged.

Maybe in the 50s when you sewed a quarter into your bra, you needed money to make a call, but other than that, cashless doesn’t mean you’re putting your safety at risk. It’s ridiculous.

At least in the Polaris lounges for United, the positions are advertised as not tipped. However, at the bar, it seems to be customary to tip for mixed drinks. I do as I see it as extra effort. I don't see tipping much for beer and wine, and I don't think you really should given it's like asking them to give you a coke.
