[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 81417, member: 1233"] OMG, you TIP for them checking your air in your tires?? I get all my gas at a family owned store that does full service for the dame price (within 2 cents/gal) of the chains. They will check all my fluids, tires, whatever. They are confused by tips. They charge more for oil and antifreeze than if I got it at WalMart, but not more than if I bought it at the other gas stations and put it in myself. I pulled in for ice on the way to a party early this summer. They told me I had a flat tire (It was fine at my house, but I had been to walmart and apparently the summer fun for hte preteens was letting air out of tires). They took my tire off, put soapy water on it, filled it up, checked everything they could and it was just fine. Just emptied by some kid in the lot at WalMart. I paid for our drinks and ice and gave the guy $10 in a tip. He thought I was nuts. But he and his coworker shared it. But tipping them is just not something they expect. I still add teh 55 cents they are charged for running a credit card on to the bill, they appreciate it but don't ever cahrge it. I just was talking wit them once and learned about it. Starnge the way things are different in different areas. Susie [/QUOTE]
