Default Re: Why do we tip the mates?

Change the structure, raise the fare to cover the mates.

This will not happen because there will always be that one captain that will tell his mates that they will keep the lower price and make it up on volume

Mandatory tipping???? Really? Tips should be for good service, not just showing up

It is a pool, not a 50/50. If you want the mates to get half, make it a 50/50. How many people have complained that they thought the boat was skimming pool money from the top of the pool?

I tip well when treated well. I have tipped up front to have and have the mate disappear instead of helping with my daughter like I told him I was tipping him for.

You get what to pay for, you should not be obligated to pay for what you dont
