I've learned something from this discussion. If I were to base my thinking purely on logic and arithmetic, I would argue (in fact I did argue above) that crew members should be tipped the same whether or not they are owners. But given that many potential customers (i.e. many of you) apparently disagree, if I were an owner I think I would do the following: - Clearly state that I am both owner and crew, so no one feels like I'm hiding anything.
- Establish and advertise a strict no-tipping policy.
- Set my rates so they are competitive with the total amount a customer would have to pay elsewhere, when tips are taken into account.
