Yes, you will. There is quite a long thread or two on the topic, where we argued every possible viewpoint.

My view: I do not support tipping the attendants unless they go above and beyond duty. I believe the airport and/or airlines are required to provide this service by law and should be compensating the attendants properly. Many of us with disabilities earn even less than the attendant does.
