Default Re: Why do we tip the mates?
Bullet well said. One counter point though. Do you think the boat would have sailed at all to take you fishing with out the mates. Is it the mates fault that the captains decide to determine his or her salary by under paying and making them dependent on tips. Is it the mates fault if the captain doesn't find fish?
