About AAA's tips

Question

Today I had a flat tire on my car and called AAA to come over.
When he was done, I tipped him $ 20 because it was hot and I wanted a cold drink but my neighbor, an old American guy, said that AAA doesn't have to do tips. How about you Bibi's ？
Please refrain from making outlandish comments and off-topic. I don't need examples of restaurants, etc. I am only asking about AAA or similar car related services.

You did your job without looking bad in the heat
$ If you received a 20 tip in a good mood, that's good.

I give it.
Tipping is a feeling to begin with, so I guess generalizations don't apply. ？ I don't have a set amount, and I change it depending on whether they came as soon as I called them, or if they were nice. In the end, I don't think you need to worry about what other people are doing because it is each person's own value.

Yes, they were smiling and happy to receive it. However, I am an American in a tipping society, and I was a little concerned that some Americans say they don't have to do AAA.

I am happy to give you pleasant service no matter what others say, so I will give it to you.

By the way, I tipped $ 20 because we had a good conversation while AAA towed me to the repair shop.

It's not AAA, but I've heard good things about their car-related services... \Ј(If I have misunderstood, I am sorry. \cH000000}
When my car stopped working and I was in trouble, there was a mechanic who traveled all the way to my house to fix it, out of the goodness of his heart.
I wanted him to accept a tip, but he stubbornly refused.
I was too apologetic... He only accepted a can of drink and Doritos.
By the way, the car was fine after that. Personally, as 💩💩💩 said, I thought 💩💩's post was unnecessary.

Yes, I was surprised that some people don't accept tips. I have no reason to lie, and since this is clearly off topic, I will not reply further.
(And, language is important, even on the internet, and an incendiary tone is not nice. sweat ☺)

I apologize for the confusion, Topix.

I agree with Mr. Unko. Necessary reply. It is not a restaurant, it is a personal choice. #8 Miako is wrong. Why are you so stubborn not to accept it. I know you are conscientious. It's fine to write about your experiences, but you don't need people's replies, but it's unnecessary. 💩's answer, you are right. If you want to give it, you can. In fact, Topix would have received it. Your opinion is unnecessary.

＞ My neighbor, an American old man, says that AAA people don't have to tip.
＞ How about you Bibi's ？

If Americans say AAA people don't need to tip, why do you ask Japanese living in the US again ？
I prefer to ask Americans about the US.

You don't have to give AAA originally. But it's a feeling, and if you want to give it, you can.
I sometimes give it myself. But if everyone gives too much, it might be a problem if it becomes the norm.
By the way, when I tried to give a tip to an American plumber, he never accepted it.
I knew that tipping is not a normal custom, but I thought it was because they did a lot of hard work.

I was told during the work that $ 100 more would be added because it was deeper than I thought. But I went to the trouble of putting down a rug, and when I backed out and put a water vent over the bathtub, I scratched the bathtub all over, and I hit the front door with a heavy bucket, which scraped the corners.
He was a rough man, and I guess he felt bad, but he did something like a handyman for free $ I raised it with a 100 tip check, and he usually took it. Well, it may be different from company affiliation or private sales.

I think it's kind of backwards and rude to say you do something when you don't have to do it.

#25 Do you think that in the case of these Plumber's, they would consider it rude or something?
I'm a person who only thinks lucky.
But I'm sure glad I didn't give it to you.

I agree with #3. It may not be necessary by nature, but it depends on how you feel.
I might do the same, and if I were the recipient, I would be honestly happy. I don't care what others think.
