I am a wheelchair attendant!

As a wheelchair attendant myself, I know there is no set amount to tip however, a tip should be given. I go out of my way to get their luggage, find their family or transportation, and even stop off at the restroom after a long cramped flight. I ask with true interest how their trip was, or I welcome them home. Often I am with a passenger up to one hour. When I see them take out a dollar or two, that is in a way an insult. When your wheelchair attendant pulls your luggage, does everything for you, and pushes you... tip them knowing they served you, and they probably make less than minimum wage. However if you do recieve horrible service then I understand lack of good tipping ettiquette.
