Uh huh

And you blithely assume that everybody works under the same
arrangement?

No, and if you'd read a little better, you'd see that I've stated that
some people's job's pay scale from their employer is such that they are
essentially working for tips. Further, you'd see that I am being very
specific in the fact that we are talking about a marina manager. Do you
think that marina managers work for tips like waitstaff?

.... I
suppose that I should expect a bonus for that? I don't, and I don't get
one. I get more work because of my reputation, though.

In other words... you *DO* get a bonus after all

No, I don't. I simply get another job or more jobs from the same firm
because of my work ethic. I work just as hard at THAT job, too. I'm not
getting monetary gain just for doing my job.


.... Just handing
everyone a tip that performs a service to you IS stupid, however. Some
people would be down right offended by it.


Read complete post before making retarded comments.

I wouldn't have thought you'd be the type to start petty and childish
insults when you are trying to have an intelligent debate, but you've
proved me wrong on that count....
