They aren't agents, they are independent contractors who work for some pittance + tips. Depending on how you are feeling about if $2-5 seems reasonable for 1-2 bags.

You can always go inside and check in there. Those people are agents (or employees of a subcontractor), but they aren't supposed to even accept tips.
