Auto dealer provides a shuttle service while car is undergoing

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."

That's also been my experience whenever I have used the shuttle service
at the repair shop where I take my car for service.

Management pays a person to do a job. It's none of their business if
someone wants to give the guy a tip because he was nice, went the extra
mile, helped with the heavy bags, advised of a good (or bad) restaurant,
helped with an invalid, etc. Even in no tipping situations, there's no rule
against leaving money on the seat, ash tray, in a handshake, or somewhere
that gets the message across.

Management? Pshaw! Ptooie!
