Auto dealer provides a shuttle service while car is undergoing
maintenance. I held out a $10 note. "No, you don't have to do that
... I'm not allowed to take it."

This young man was no retired millionaire. He had pulled three years
in the US Army, with service at Guantanamo, and was now in the
National Guard. Maybe he thought that I was testing him and would
report him to his boss if he accepted. I dunno.

The only think he accepted was, "Thank you for your service to our
country."


This is very common in the Asheville, NC area that I live. Most people who
are on salaries refuse to take tips. They feel they are getting paid to do a
job and that is satifactory to them. I've had to 'force' tips on some people
because of the great service they performed for me.
