That's the problem when you have fishhooks in your pockets you can't get your hands in there to pay a bill or give a tip. :lol:

Yes. Tip for service. Sales of a liter of gas is not service...it's just that, sales.
Down here, employers will jump on any opportunity to pay employees less, or nothing. When the gratuities become sufficient in the employers eyes, the don't pay their help. The old folks in grocery stores who bag your junk are a good example. The employer has successfully passed on his responsibility to pay his help to the consumer....twice.
Every effing business down here would do the same thing given the opportunity, which these "I'm so generous" tourists will gladly give them.
The two dollar an hour cutey who pumps gas is well on her way to hanging a tip-jar from her neck because that will be all she gets.

Jeeezo...this self-righteous benefactor sheit makes me sick.

bag your own, pump your own, cart your own, be self sufficient, need no one. There are a lot of jobs that tips are the pay, the wages are low in Mex .and US. both. If that were not the case then the wages would increase and so would the cost for product and service. either way you would wind up paying. You just choose not to, your angling the the way the system has been established, good for you, you saved a couple bucks for anouther pacifico and can rejoice in your good fortune. Fishhooks.

....2 hints were written before by someone in the fuel industry....

..1...yes ,gas expands with temperature,,,forget how much,,,but pretty easy to see when your fuel-cans get warm,no?...best bet is to go early in the day,,,save ~10% easy!

....2.....Loss through 'backflow'.....if yer run a fuel-pump at full speed,,,it's likely to be flowing a certain amount back to the source--a good place to chill-out,,sloww down,,,but not easy if someone with vested interest ins running the pump.

blah. blah. complain. drink beer. drink the spit in the beer from the server you didn't tip.. complain some more. get shorted on gas from the attendant , you didn,t tip. drink more beer. complain. b-tch and moan. dig the broken eggs outta your groceries that the bagger threw on the bottom, cause you didn't tip. drink even more beer, cause you have more because you don,t tip. get a swollen liver from too much beer. complain because the whole medical system is messed up and so is your liver. i'd rather tip a bit and not a pacifico or modelo.

I get karma. as you act you will be treated. If your doing good by others you will be treat well by them. am I missing something. Is it just the fact you get ripped off at the pump? I know you don't tip the attendant that very clear. :spingrin:
