Tip-Tip-Tip Your pusher and porter aka. skycap
The people pushing you in the airport get paid well below minimum wage. Wake up travelers 5$ is bare minimum. If you honestly cant afford anything at the very least dont be so rude and hop on your phone and turn your back and or walk away. What goes around comes around.

I dispute your contention that the job is paid at less than minimum wage.
I also dispute that handicapped folks who may not be able to work should be required to tip for services already paid for by the airport/airlines.

Are we going to argue this again? OP should search this forum and find a long thread on the topic, which argues it from every side.
Let's see if think link works: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/searc...&query=tipping
Here's the specific thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/disab...etiquette.html

Since, as DeafFlyer points out, we already have a thread on this topic, I'm closing this thread.
