NikiPinkston Posted March 28 #4 Share Posted March 28 (edited) We have family members who are longshore workers, as are the porters at the Port of L.A. They are not "allowed" to accept tips, but I always tip them anyway because I want to be sure my bags get on the ship safely, usually $5 for two bags!😊 Edited March 28 by NikiPinkston 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93yearsyoung Posted March 29 #5 Share Posted March 29 We've never heard tipping the porters isn't allowed. Every does (or should). We tip $5 a bag, and $10 for the person who wheels me from the curb to check-in. I can walk with a cane, but I can't walk the distances required from curb to ship and then the weird ship serpentine they make you navigate.

NikiPinkston Posted March 29 #6 Share Posted March 29 It's not that passengers aren't allowed to tip them. Longshore workers are extremely well-paid and my brother-in-law, who is a longshoremen, has repeatedly told me that longshore workers are not supposed to accept tips but, in my experience, they always do LOL! They aren't like the porters at the airport who make minimum wage, longshoremen have six-figure incomes. As I said, I always tip them anyway to ensure that my bags are treated well on their journey to the ship! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
