Then emphatize with the fact that they are probably tired. Hand them at least $1 tip, smile, and tell them to enjoy their night, once they get off of work. <br><br>I grew up a block from the Dollar Car Wash (yes it only cost $1, but now in 2008 it's $2) across the street from "Woman Care" the abortion clinic. Incase the tip still doesn't make sense...it's basically, relate to someone as a person not as a race. Which, it sounds like you really want to do, because God made us all equall. Right?<br><br>Anyway, if you want to follow my husband (also named Justin) and myself as we explore cultural differences within various countries around the world, feel free to check us out: <a href="http://www.nomadbackpackers.com" rel="nofollow">www.nomadbackpackers.com</a> <br><br>We leave on September 30th to backpack to different countries around the world for a year or so. We know God will teach us a lot.<br><br>We would love to have other opinions, ideas, encouragement, advice, helpful tips, and more left as comments. <br><br>Thanks, <br>NatalieNatalieWed, 10 Sep 2008 08:42:37 -0000
