The Lack - Tom, our heart goes out to you and your wife - it saddens and angers us to no end.
To be blessed with a whole functioning body and then abuse someone less fortunate and in need of just a little kindness [V]. Plain common decency - respect of one human being for another - where have they gone!
Last January, our daughter with our 2 1/2 month old granddaughter was leaving Hilo - along with all the luggage necessary to keep a newborn dry and happy - Nana wanted every available minute with little Hannah - she hailed a porter with an empty cart - after loading, recieving a tip, he informed the ladies that the going rate was $2.00 a bag - which they then paid.
If porters at airports are now - independent contractors - no longer paid by the airport or airlines - notices should be posted to inform the public!
If a set fee is now the standard - notices should be posted to inform the public!
If you are working for just "tips" - and you need/want a certian amount - you should be forthright in asking BEFORE you engage your client. Once engaged - whatever "tip" you get is what you get - period - after the fact it's EXTORTION!
Time will tell - I'm listening?
Time will tell - I'm speaking?
