Tip him? Um...no. It costs $45 to have a car unlocked here and it only takes 15 seconds...no $$$ left for a tip! 
My dentist is nice too, but I'm not going to tip him. 
The AAA is doing his job, nothing more...his main source of income is not tips, I assure you. Certain jobs rely on tips...strippers, strippers, strippers, etc.

and waitresses. which is like a stripper, only they don't strip. they are entertaining though 
alright, point taken. No matter what the stripper says, no tipping in the AAA room....or something like that.

| That depends entirely on what restaurant you go to...  | |

It's funny, I hope I have an AAA membership; I just hope I never have to use it. | |

Give him this tip:
-Don't look directly into the sun-
I don't get any tip for fixing peoples dumb computer mistakes..I barely get ANY response....unless I clean up their porn, then they are thankful

I have AAA and no, I don't tip. Not a tippable service, imo.

I dont know, or frankly care about the "rules" of tipping....I always go by the person going above and beyond what is normally expected....if the girl is rude and smells bad and is a terrible waitress, Im sorry, she may as well not DREAM of getting a tip...if she makes $3.00 per hr..Im sorry, get a better job. If someone has a gun to her head making her do the job then she needs a cop, not a tip.

| AAA only pays the towing company a fraction of that. $15-$20 is all really. And that goes in the owners pocket, not the drivers.
Give him a couple dollars and tell him to buy a pop and a bag of chips when he gets back to the station. They don't get paid the greatest when it comes to hourly wages and it makes their evening when a customer does that.
I dispatched tow trucks for a couple of years BTW.
