I thought I'd share this story. It made me feel good, and I grew up close to Pittsburgh and staye at that very hospital when I was young and very sick.

I heard this story on my local news-talk radio station.

The guy's been doing it for about 50 years. That's an average of $4000 per year in tips. Assuming he works every day, that's an average of $11/day in tips. $16/day if he doesn't work on weekends. Not that unreasonable.
