[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't tip either. The only way people are ever going to get paid fair wages is if everyone stops tipping everyone. I'm sorry but I will not tip every person I meet in my life. I want to pay fair prices but I want to know them up front and honest.[/quote]

I think tipping a camp counselor is almost as odd as tipping an L&D nurses at the hospital after I've given birth. I'm very grateful to the L&D nurses but I express my gratitude by leaving feedback with the hospital about how awesome a particular nurse is, and directly telling the person. Why can't we do the same with a camp counselor?  A heartfelt verbal thank you, a drawing from the child sounds great or maybe some a small noncash gift sounds more appropriate to me.

And for those that says the counselors remember who tips and how much is exactly the reason why I dislike throwing this whole tipping issue into the mix. There are parents who don't have as much in camps. Is it fair to to have their children treated as slightly less important just because one of their caretakers felts they didnt get enough of a tip?  And, if the counselor is there as a volunteer, isn't the primary reason they are there experience or something else non-financial?  Isn't the very definition of a volunteer non-paid?  [/quote]
