Yes usually. When I can add it to the card because I dont carry cash

R10 normal. R20 for a little extra
 
I do when I have change. R5 and up. Usually when they check the tyres and oil etc. Also depend on the kind of service I get...
 
Nope! I never got tipped in my job, in fact latterly I never even got the going rate for my work. I am now a pensioner on a small fixed income. No one tips me for being nice to them. So, why should I? Living in the UK you put your own petrol and oil in, do your own tyres etc., and I would gladly do that here but when I have tried to do my own tyres I have not been allowed to - in fact, although I drive a 4x4 I am treated like I have lost my marbles presumably because I am female and have silver hair. One young man was really offended that I should be driving such a vehicle as he said it was not right that an old person drove it, it was for a young person. hahahah. Bet he'd never done rally driving or jumped out of a plane or sailed a yacht etc!
 
most of the times, R5 to R10. Depend on my cash and a bit on attitude
 
Not since they went on strike and additional levies were added to our fuel to supplement their wages.
 
Between R2 and R5 if they do more than put fuel in such as tyres, oil, water etc

Always. Depends on the amount I put in but never less than R10 if I'm only putting in R100 or R200. I f I fill up, its R20 to R40 - these guys sit shifts of 12 hours, often at night. Everyone to their own but I also believe in what you give out, you get back
 
I get them to check the tyres and wash windscreen - and give R10.

I was once helped by a lady and I think I was her first customer. She was shaking and was trying very hard to remember what to ask, sometimes asking another attendant what to do next. I tipped her R20 because of it and she ran off shouting and cheering, waving the R20 above her head. :ROFL:
 
Yes. Usually R20 or R30. It's a small way to help others.
 
I usually do, R5 or R10 depending on whether they clean my windscreen as well or not.
