I do not have that large a gas tank, but I appreciate the kids (usually) that are working the docks. I buy my gas almost exclusively at West Alton and they do a nice job of helping to dock the boat, take care not to spill, and are friendly and pleasant to deal with. No potty on board (Mrs UTS would LOVE one), so pump outs are not an issue. I always try to give $3-5 as a tip, for the reasons given above.

Kinda like going to the diner for breakfast, and the tab is only 10 bucks for two. I feel almost guilty leaving a buck-fifty to two buck tip. Usually will be at least three bucks (just for the coffee refills)

As a regular at the restaurant(s) or gas docks, you are remembered and usually receive excellent service and an extra smile, which makes for a great day.
