[QUOTE="6thGenIdahoan, post: 2944705, member: 117264"] Tipping rules are all over the place for sure! Used to be that you didn't tip on alcohol(said my grandpa) prolly cuz of sin tax and huge markup! Here's how I look at it. Many of those guides live and work in that area. As well as their families and past relatives. Myself am a native Idahoan who's family all around has been here since 1900 and my G-G-grandparents were some of the first to settle in Sun Valley around 1850's.
