Wow. Some of the responses. We had booked the YC last September for the first time. My husband and I have both worked in the service industry and know how tips work. While the amt is nice, sometimes it’s the gratitude and appreciation that counts. When we were in the bar in Top Sail, we would tip a few dollars every couple drinks. That’s just who we are. They are working to make us happy and it’s how we show our thanks. I have heard that Americans can be rude and/or obnoxious at times and would like to show that not everyone is like that. It’s definitely a personal option. But I say, enjoy your trip and if you want to pull out an extra dollar or two for a thank you, it would be appreciated, but certainly not expected.
