Fuel attendant here. I don’t expect people to tip at all unless they’re asking me for favors. You’re cool if you’ve never tipped just for getting gas but you’re a pretty shit person if you’ve had fuel attendants check your oil or put air in your tires for no tip. I’d say like 2% of NJ plates tip, whereas like 40% of out-of-state plates tip, and are sometimes astonished that it’s not standard to tip

This makes sense. As out of NJ it is self service and we arent expecting people to fill up our gas. 2% to 40% is a big difference. May I ask if you guys split the tips or do you keep it to yourself?

We go by a rule of whoever starts the car gets the tip, unless the customer says who it’s for or if it’s to split
