Do you tip - at the fuel dock on delivery?

[zigzag930]

I'd like ask the group for feedback on tipping at the fuel dock or when getting bulk fuel delivered.

In the case of the fuel dock: No special "extra" services, just looping two lines around a piling and handing you the fuel pump, maybe handing the pump-out nozzle.

Does size of the boat or how much fuel you take on matter?

In the case of the delivery: just bringing the hose across 100' of lawn and waiting for me to pump the fuel.

Thanks to all...

I almost always give a $20. I usually fuel at the barge in Miami. That’s anywhere between 200 gal for my own boat or 1600 gal for the “office”

I tip. I realize I do most of the work, but, in particular, Annapolis City Marina generally hires attractive young women to run the fuel dock, so why not?

Well I just went from St Pete Fl to Demopolis AL with the Bird and the level of service and conversation/interaction with the fuel guys was all of other the place. I did a minimum of $20 everywhere regardless of level of service. On this trip for us the person on the dock was either a kid or an old grumpy guy and I promise you that the impression that you leave on that person has a much bigger impact on their day and future than you ever realize. Happy Tipping Brother.

Here in the California delta you have to do it all. Tie yourself up, pump gas, pump out waste. It’s all self serve. So I slip 20.00 into my pocket just because. Lol

Yes I tip at the fuel dock. I do $10 if just fuel, $20 if pump out.
