Absolutely, makes sense! I will balance that with not tipping as much as maybe some of the other people on the facebook page I am reading may give (even though Costco says tips are included)...I am just not in the same income level as those posters, as they seem to tip more than I would spend on food total! I do agree that if I can afford the trip, I can afford to tip, though, just not everyone can afford the same amount!
