No one should misunderstand and think that people do not appreciate
the hard work it is to shoe a horse, because that is not true. We do. Tipping
everyone who we have dealings with has become the norm and it is just silly at
this point. A very good surgeon repaired a shattered ankle of mine in 2004 and I
can only imagine what HIS college bills may have been, and what his malpractice
insurance might have cost. Do begrudge him his pay. Gosh no! Would I think
of TIPPING HIM? Gosh, no. He did like the UCLA baseball cap though:). Many
people work hard, are good at heir jobs and spent time and money being educated,
but not everyone gets tipped just because. It still remains a
choice.
