Time to start tipping

   Well, I for one will not be riding with 122582. Please make sure to let riders know that you will be collecting a toll PRIOR to getting in the car. I'm sure you'll quickly be identified as a 'pirate' and riders will avoid you when you are in the line. As a matter of fact, if you identify yourself as the author of this idea, I'll avoid you starting tomorrow! Good luck!

	Only $2 coming home today, but that made $5 total so far. This could catch on.

	What a bunch of cheap people. You all talk as though you are owed something. I hope most of us drivers become slugs and the lines become so long, so sit and wait and wait. I'll tell you what. If your that adamant about not paying, the next time someone says "will you take a third", I'll "just say no" or maybe I'll say "will you tip". Drivers - Do not take an extra people, only take the minimum. Extra weight requires more gas. Turn off the AC. make these cheap punks sweat a little.

	Rosebud, If I tip, do I have any say in AC or radio station or drop off point? After all, I am then paying for a service. Do I get any new rights with my new obligation to pay? I hear what you're saying. Gas prices pass a certain level, so riders should tip. But what is that level? Can I stop tipping if prices go down? If so, what dollar amount triggers tipping?

	Wolfpack, you're in a vanpool - why in the world are you even on this site? And you're becoming an instigator where one is NOT wanted. Go back to sleeping in your seat and don't start trouble.

	I'll tell you what CarlEric. If you want to pay taxi fee's, I'll drive you anywhere. We are talking about a buck you cheap punk. Give me five bucks I'll let you play with the radio buttons. Give me 10 bucks and I'll sing to you. Whatever makes you happy....

	So it's a buck from anywhere? The same buck gets me into DC from Springfield or Stafford? That seems unfair to the drivers. I guess my problem is everyone's sense of entitlement: some drivers seem to be saying "you should want to tip me" because prices are so high. Why now? What is the magic number for gas prices? I am to tip after gas crosses X dollars - well, what is X? Seriously, when am I "supposed" to tip? signed, the Cheap Punk PS: Look, no one's saying you can't charge people to ride in your car. But that's not slugging. That's something else.

	Go away 122. No one is gonna pay you. In fact, we'd all rather take the bus. Go take the regular lanes to/from DC and then get back to us about that dollar thing. You'll be paying the slugs a dollar to ride with you. You know its true.
