Then another toolmaker added several other services in our weekly life we are leaving out of the loop.



I think it's funny you tell this story which has nothing to do with anything and then go on guided hunts after proclaiming you make less than the guides but then arguing you shouldn't tip?

Something doesn't make sense in your thought process.


Borrow the money and go. Seems like a great idea except that tips get to be a lot more than 10% when you're paying interest on them grin

Some.....most people have to save for years or even pull bank loans to hunt far off places

The 10% mark is become the standard?

Nuts IMO when factoring in all aspects

By all accounts there are many people in your everyday life that "we" need to be giving the 10% gratuity too....

Lots of low wage people in our lives that work hard for us....think?
