Least deserving job function that expects a tip
OK. This is an offshoot of my tipping housekeeping thread.
What do you think is the situation where a tip is expected that is most ridiculous? Off the top of my head, it is the taxi-line dude at a hotel which has a line of taxis waiting. The guy who stands there and whistles or waves over a cab. And maybe asks you where you are going and tells it to the cabbie, who always asks you anyway once the taxi-line dude closes the door. This guy really adds zero value to my experience, yet I just give him a dollar, cuz that's what people do. Note that there is a VERY different role in some hotels in NYC that do not have a taxi-line. These guys provide a great service, especially when it is raining.

Re: Least deserving job function that expects a tip
First trip to Vegas, maybe 15 years ago. leaving to fly home. cab pulls up to the curb side check-in at the Airport and the two fat bastards from United that check our bags both put their hands out at the same time. I don't think I've laughed that hard since.
