Why Don’t You See A Tip Screen On An Airplane?

With tip screens on tablets popping up in coffee houses and restaurants everywhere, you might have noticed that there’s one place where you’re never asked to tip: Airplanes. But why don’t flight attendants ask for tips? “Tipping is not part of a flight attendant’s compensation for serving as aviation’s first responders,” Sara Nelson of the Association of Flight Attendants said. In short, giving a flight attendant money could undermine their job as a safety officer. Their first job is to keep passengers safe! It is acceptable to leave a positive review of the airline or give a flight attendant a small gift, like a gift card, as a token of appreciation. (Travel And Leisure)
