Yes, very true, but I can tell you the people in Colorado Springs and 
Denver also expect tips.  I'm talking about the people who take me from 
check in and through security to the gate.  My brother and I were at 
Denver once and this lady pulled up on one of those little electric 
carts and asked us if we wanted a ride to the gate, and we said sure.  I 
thought my brother had tipped her and when she drove off, I asked and he 
said he hadn't, he didn't know he was supposed to, and he said he 
wondered why she gave us such a dirty look and flipped us off.
