Food for thought: How do you feel getting tip? Believe it or not, he/she feels pretty much the same. Necessary, not really, appreciated, absolutely. I've read so many threads here over time, about the constant love/hate relationship with sound engineers. Guess which person will remember you the next time you work together? Probably the person you looked in the eye, shook their hand, and said "thank you, great job' to. Offering a small gratuity never hurts to put an exclamation point on that encounter.
