Chase, the year was 1977 and I was the guy pumping the gas..... yada, yada, yada.
It was 8:30 on a Sunday night, I worked in a Gulf station just off I-91 in Northampton; two big mobile home campers came in........ the guys tipped me. I was very pleasantly surprised. It didn't happen often.
I have a problem going to Dunkin' Donuts and they have the tip jar out. I don't know why only that particular store bothers me (with them having their hand out) but for some reason it does.
