This is the kind of reason I hate tipping culture: I never knew that you were supposed to tip the Elevator Man. Now, I've only encountered an elevator man once in my life in the US. But still. It never occurred to me that he should be tipped. And that's my main problem, the ambiguity. There's no consistency in who should get tipped and how much is a decent amount. And that kind of opaqueness always hurts everyone involved but a few lucky ones.
