[QUOTE="asd9055, post: 2943502, member: 73445"] TIPS. It is actually an acronym and it stands for "To Insure Prompt Service", and given ahead of time. It started in restaurants long long ago. Then Restaurant onwers realized the didn't have to pay their dining room stuff much and went down hill from there. Now many places you go to, will include 18%-25% on your bill. I have hunted guided hunts where the guides were PROHIBITED from accepting tips. I have hunted one hunt in Colorado where the host came and asked me for a tip. And I hunted a guided hunt where I knew I would be expected to give a daily "tip" to the guide, the cook and the maid. I knew ahead of time, so I figured it out in the TRUE cost of the hunt. These days, anywhere you go they ask for a TIP. Even drive through fast food places. It is getting annoying. When I had more disposable capital, I looked into guided hunts in Northern contiguous US, Canada and Alaska. Then added the expect not listed "expenses". Never booked those hunts. I wonder how soon before clothing stores add the "tip" line in thee bill. Just obsevations and vending. Before we do anything these days, we need to compare the true costs, not the advertised one.
