Default Do you guys tip the tow guy?

If you have AAA and the guy comes out to pull your car out of the snow bank do you guys give him a tip? Now its keep in mind it's aound 11pm, snowing out, very cold, and this guy is going to spend the whole night towing retards like me that just had to go for a drive.

I usually tip them, but not a lot, say around $10 or so.

My cousin had AAA plus, where they will tow you anywhere. He was in Vermont and his VW Bus was broken down, had to get it here to NY (Albany). The tow guy came and brought him here, I was talking to him later and asked him how much of a tip did you give him. My cousin draw dropped, he had forgotten. Long story short, he tracked down the guys home address and sent him a gift certificate to a resturant in his hometown. I think it was for $50 or so.
I usually give them $10 and tell them to get a beer on me.
The worst is my father, because I am free days, I go to his house when he has shit delivered/installed/fixed and he never leaves tip money. If I had to do the math for all the tips I have given out for him, it would be somewhere in the $300 range.
