Reply #34: you do what you can to survive

[Nicole Lambeth]

I just hope that more people realize how much those tips are needed. Hubby and I lived in a college town for a long time, and we always heard that the two groups that were worst about tipping were the eldery (who thought a 5-10% tip was quite generous)and the young frat boy types (who wanted to save all their extra money for booze). It's a hard job with crappy pay, but it's a needed service, and you apparently really impressed your customers! I hope you keep getting recgnition for what you do. You deserve it!
