Mobile Do you tip the magical express driver?

Do you tip the ME driver?

Last time we went he got our bags off, we were all ready to tip him a few dollars and he turned round and hopped back on the bus!

The MDE Driver is providing a service, so you would usually tip.

If he is loading and unloading your luggage from the bus, $1 per bag.

Same for Bell Services if they take your bags to your room for you, $1 per bag, and $2 per heavy case.

It's customary to tip anyone who provides a personal service to you :-)

Yes we've always tipped - $5 each way is our normal.

I've noticed though that most of the American and South American families don't tip. AFAIK, it is a service and it is customary to tip for good service and I always find the DE drivers lovely.
