Curbside luggage check guy to me at airport: "I'll make sure to take good care of your bags".
Me (oblivious): "Great, thanks!"
Curbside luggage check guy (more pointedly): "I'll take VERY GOOD CARE OF YOUR BAGS".
Me (catching on): "Ah, OK" (gets out wallet to tip).
This is seriously funny and true... - and a little story to go along with this... We were meeting friends at the airport for our annual trip to Vegas, they arrived earlier at the airport earlier than we did, and checked their bags curbside... but for some reason they checked the bags separately, I think she had to get something out, of the of her checked bag, and he came into the terminal to look for us... She checked and tipped.... Once we arrived and checked our bags inside at the Delta desk... and off we went... When we arrived in Vegas, his bags did not make it... So kidding around I said you did tip when you dropped off at curbside... He was like... no I am not tipping for what they are suppose to do... I was like well that's why you didn't get your bag.... she said I tipped and my bag made it... they delivered the bag to the hotel early the next morning, the bag looked as if something had stepped on it, then chewed it up... to the point he had to buy a new checked bag to get back home.... so they left a day before us, and she said that he made sure to tip, and both checked piece's made it back... We kidded him about that for a while... I really don't know if it made a difference, but why take the chance...
