Once at an airport, I had a lineguy lead me to a parking spot. After I
shut
down, he chocked the nosewheel and put a red mat outside my door for me to
step on. He asked if I needed fuel, which I didn't. He didn't stick
around,
so I assumed that he didn't want or expect a tip. I haven't been to many
big
airports, but the treatment there seemed tip-worthy to me.

Indeed.

And IMO, *that* should be the criterion for tipping, going out of your
way to provide extra-ordinary service. Not simply "tip me because I
did my job".

It seems to me that it would be very appropriate to (1) mention your
appreciation with his boss, and/or (2) recommend the place to others,
word-of-mouth.
