Read what you post. That's a NATIONAL AVERAGE.

They applied for a job as a city employed trash collector.

Actually I have very little garbage and it's never stunk. If they
don't like dealing with garbage they should have never applied for
the job.

I'm haughty because I don't agree with you and what you do?
Guess what, you're a narrow minded wannabe bully.

I tip my hair dresser, I don't tip the mail carrier because s/he also
gets paid a darn good salary. More than the garbage man and my mail
carrier changes about every 6 weeks or so. And I'm supposed to tip
them for mis-delivered mail?

Well, quit replying if you don't care. You must care or you
wouldn't be so perturbed that I don't tip the garbage man.

Probably more like 10 hour days.

You are guessing again, using that 'national average.'

I don't own a new car or truck. Why should I tip someone so
they can? They'll have to go in debt just like me to own a
new vehicle.

I did on that 'national average.' Granted, I got raises
throughout the years. But I was still in debt for car notes
and mortgages.

No, I'm standing right behind you with your phony outrage that not
everyone thinks everybody who has their hand stuck out should get a
tip for a job they were hired to do.
