Am I just an ... for not thinking of tipping them? I'm a newish frequent flyer, so I'll admit ignorance here.

Just wanted to get the reaction from others if this is normal/acceptable, etc.
Your FT handle says you are a road warrior yet you are a "newish frequent flyer"? You check bags curbside, don't tip the skycap and your bags end where they're supposed to be? Here's a travel pro tip: tip the skycap at curbside check in!
