They provide a service and receive payment for it.
Does anyone tip the starters at the courses for saying, pull up to the white line.
Or the ambassadors for offering water and sand. What about the meter readers that need to walk up to each house.
Do your own thing!
Now seriously, the starter and ambassadors do their jobs because they want to, gives them play money, great discounts on golf and pro shop stuff. Their families aren't dependent on the income. Some even do it because they have difficulty adjusting to retirement.

Meter readers do not provide a service.

I do agree with do your own thing but hold out hope that the "thing" for most is to reach out to those that provide service to us and, in the spirit of the Holidays, give a hand up. If we live here, we can afford a few bucks.
