Re: Why do we tip the mates?
Back in the day mates fished and sold their catch for extra money. That's pretty much over now but you know what? Times change! Back in the 60's we didn't have size limits, cars ran on leaded gasoline, people got lynched for trying to vote, nobody had kid car seats or 3 point seat belts etc etc etc. Today tipping is expected and if you know full well you don't have enough money to tip you waiter/ bartender/ mate etc than you shouldn't go out to eat/drink/fish.
Plain and simple.
