Bought a new (small) boat from MarineMax. They provide a checkout when you pickup the boat with their 'checkout Captain' - someone employed by MM with an office/desk etc. The Captain was fantastic - answered all my questions and took care of any problems. About a 2 hour process between warranty paperwork and a ride in the water.
The big question - is this a tipping event, and if so how much would be appropriate? And what would be appropriate now that it's after the fact?
I wasn't even thinking of it until it was too late (I was thinking along the lines of buying a new car - no one tips the salesman), but his service was truly outstanding. Wife says no way - it would be demeaning to someone at that level (one doesn't tip the airline Captain, either).
Anyone thoughts? Anyone been in this situation lately?
Thanks
