Yes, when I was young I did everything from sanding cars in a body shop to digging ditches for a sewer contractor. I cut grass for my neighbor when I was a kid and never got a tip. I didn't even know there was such a thing as a tip. These jobs are training for later life. They are not meant to be permanent jobs

I tip because I don't mind sharing my good fortune with those less fortunate
than me.

That, and just because I can.
That's exactly why I tipped my grass cutting guys this morning.
