Colin - those predictions wouldn't be too far off in some cases :P

Another thing about the difference in what I was paid for shining shoes
It also taught me that some people will pay double for the same product or service and be happy about it

I really think my Great Grandfather felt .25 cents was all the shoe shine was worth - and wanted me to undeerstand the value of hard work

Tipping - many who have worked a job that depended on tips tend to tip a little higher, especially for good service
the first hourly wage job I had was working in a car wash after school and on Saturday's - I was 16 and living on my own - my hourly wages would cover most of the bills and I had to depend on tips to eat

I agree with the perception of amount of $ as opposed to %
I tend to tip more when by myself
