Interesting topic, and I'm glad it showed up in the Forum.
I too am always torn as to the proper etiquette of tipping or not. With that in mind I'll throw out my practice at the docks and sit back and see what others are doing.
Quite simply, if I'm fueling up (65 gallon tank) I will usually give the dock attendent (typically a college student) between $2-$5 -- as others said - this is dependant on how attentative the person is and how engaging they are.
On the other hand, there are numerous times when we stop at Anchor Marine to simply pick up Ice, soda's etc ....... all though the dock hands are "johnny on the spot" I rarely if ever tip for this 5 minute stop.
Interested in what others do ---- I certainly do not follow a percentage formula, $5 is about my max for tipping--- Am I off base ?
