Do you tip at an airport business class/lounge?

Thus how would you expect the OP to tip without cash?

If tipping is expected in a particular place, then one should carry cash when travelling to that place.

The question here is if tipping is expected.

Also, airports often have people who expect tips, for example those who work at curbside bag checks.

As an aside, I would say that it is a personal safety risk to leave the house without carrying some cash, even if one prefers to not pay in cash as a matter of course, but that is a separate discussion.

Please tell me when in the last 5 years you needed cash when you didn’t know ahead you would need it and you were in danger because you didn’t have it.

My hair cut place only takes cash.
A few places like Tony’s NYS pizza gives discount for cash.
Taxi on last business trip only took cash
I always get cash when traveling

Reading comprehension failure: I said “when you you didn’t know you’d need cash…”

What American city and cab brand had a cab that only took cash? Tony’s pizza does take cards but now you know in advance you can pay w/ cash so you can get it in advance if you want to. I have cash in the house and get it only if I know I will need it

Well NYC has Gypsie cabs, Carts on street for coffee and bagels, some Irish Pubs, Bodegas, Cheap Pizza places, Tow Trucks and lots of places have a $20 limit on credit cards.

Plus NYC cabs often meter or credit card machine is broken. After NYC black out my sister got standed in NYC as she had very little cash, subway stopped working and cabs only took cash. All ATMS down.

In a black out cash is only choice. And depending on what you arse doing in NYC lots of certain things I wont mention here only take cash. Plus at spots evens the guy yelling Pretzles in NY dont want your credit card.

I used to go get my breakfast every day in manhattan downtown at the deli and they all had a $20 minimun on credit cards unless tourist traps or chains.

Most cab companies at the commuter rains in NYC take cash unless reserve ahead and call dispatch. They have cabs waiting as you get off the train. At my LIRR stop Uber was illegal to enter parking lots as the cab company had paid for that right. They charged a flat fee of 5 bucks a person to take you home. Had a guy there direct you into cabs. Hand him $5 bucks and off you go. They would reserve right to put other customers in car and group you together. Those trains are huge and sometimes they load ten cabs in a matter of minutes. They are not taking cards. You were free to walk out of parking lot stand in street and call a uber and wait ten minutes and spend 15 bucks for same ride I guess.

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.

You have never eaten in an airport restaurant?

I try really hard not to. The food and service are always awful.
