[QUOTE="Cementups, post: 1192402, member: 8590"] It's because the people with "less" appreciate your service more. I used to work for my brother putting up inflatable moonwalks for kids parties. When we would go to the big homes on big properties we were treated as the help. They would point to where the moonwalk went and then be bothered if I had to ask any questions or when I had to go over the rules and when I would be back. And when we got back that night to pick it up they would be hiding inside. The only exception was a neurosurgeon that we got to know well over the years and he came from nothing so actually appreciated everything he had and worked for. Most of those people would give us nothing, except him. He would give us $100 tip every year. Then we would go to lass economically stimulated areas. These people renting the unit pretty much had to save to throw the party for their kids. But in the end they always had a little extra ($10-20) to throw our way. I always said no first, but you never say no twice. They also took the best care of the equipment while they had it. And if there was something wrong they were quick to call. The rich people would cover stuff up or deny any wrong doing. In the end, the "poor" people would tip us because they appreciated it more. And numerous thank you's as well. [/QUOTE]
