Default Appropriate tip for car wash...

I finally got internets back! Comcast came out and said my line was jacked and would take 90 days to fix. I signed up for a business account and they had it back up in a day!!!

Anyhow. I bought a new car and in the process I signed up for this monthly unlimited car washes for $30 a month. It's kinda nice I can go every day if need be. That said the regular price of the wash is $10.95 so what do I tip the guys that dry it off? I've been tossing them $2.00 or $3 each wash but I can't tell if they are happy with it or planning my doom after I leave.

2 bucks is a 20%pic tip. Seems reasonable to me.

Anything is better than nothing, so long as it isn't like pocket change. Two bucks sounds okay to me.

And by "paint" I assume you mean "big dill pickle".

Depends on how you feel I guess, I would usually tip when the service is nice and staff are polite.

A monthly deal is a monthly deal, tip is not mandatory.

Kinda futile washing your car in this weather. It's dirty the next time you drive it!
