[QUOTE="171farm, post: 2943131, member: 110956"] I don’t like flat rate tipping. If guide A goes above and beyond why should they get the same as guide B who doesn’t put in as much work? I’d say if a guide gives just ok guiding, doesn’t seem to go out of the way Im not tipping as much. If I’m happy with the work and effort they put into it I’m giving a min of 10% of what the outfitter charged for the hunt. If they go above and beyond they get over 10%. I get the fact that some of these guides don’t get paid a lot, but that’s not really my fault and I have to save up for the hunt so I don’t feel I have to tip everyone the same. If I’m being guided by the outfit owner him/herself I feel like you don’t have to tip them. They set the prices so they should be happy with what they get. With that said though, I’d probably still tip but haven’t been in this situation. I agree with the post about everyone wanting a tip for doing their job. It’s getting out of hand, but there definitely are some people that deserve more than just a thank you as well [/QUOTE]
