Default Re: Why do we tip the mates?

Ok, here's my 2 cents! I frequent many party boats and charter boats every year! Once upon a time I had my own boat! I treat the mates and captain and fellow passengers with upmost respect! And I tip well, especially for a low maintenance passenger! And I realize that mates are in the service business and should be taking care of by the customers! My problem with this tread is with the POOL! I'm almost dumb founded at some of the comments! When did the pool become all about the mates???? I thought the pool, which is a choice by those on the boat, was about bragging rights, competitiveness and ball breakinng and yes financial gains! When did it become about the mates???? I had no clue! I have won my share of pools(lucky) and I personally kick up more than I should, because I want too! A young girls give 2 dollars and that's a problem! The pool should be about the customer!! The customers put in 100%! Tip your mates!
