The advantage of uniform
I was the flight engineer on flight cargo flight out of Detroit to Memphis one night and the following morning while waiting to check in at the hotel a lady guest the the hotel approaches the Captain and asks hin to carry her bags to her room.
Fast Eddie the captain and ever the gentleman politely picks up her bags and heads for the elevator ............ A few minutes later he returns and announces that the $ 15 tip will pay for his breakfast.
I guess being dressed up like a bellboy has its advantages !
