We're not even talking about what % to tip; people are now trying to justify stiffing the mates entirely, giving ZERO as they step off the boat, for shame.
That's what you got from reading Sal's post?? LOL, you might consider a handle other then "reason."

I thought Bluefish's thoughts were right on point.
