At 16, I worked as a gas attendant, for two years, part time during school and full time in the summer. I've worked three winters where I would freeze all the time and we had a tiny heater. In the spring/summer we had no roof above our little booth, so when it rains..well... it rains.. anyway. I used to get tipped about 6$ on average per shift, during christmas anywhere from 20-40$ per shift ( thats tip ).

Am I different for not expecting tips? I never expected, although it was nice to get it because I tried to work hard.

Yeah, I remember you telling that story earlier but at 16 did you have put a roof over your own head, fully support yourself or others? Also, did you make ~$2 and hour? That is my point.
