DEN Shoeshine: How much do you pay?

I'm rather frazzled at the "pay what you want" business model at the DEN shoeshine kiosks. How much do you usually give them? The guy who shined my shoes tonight said "most people pay between $8-10", so I gave him $10.

For US airport shoeshines with fixed prices posted, $6-9 seems to be the typical price, so $8-10 including tip seems accurate.

Agreed. $10 is pretty fair.

Certainly a good question. I think before they went to "whatever you want to pay" last year, they were asking $5-$6.
