Tipping the Limo driver.

Q. I drive a limo.  I'm new to the business and would like to know when receiving a tip is it a hand off while getting the tip
then a hand shake?  Hand off only?  Hands not touching hands?  Is there a protocol for receiving and giving a tip?

Thanks for your help.

A.  Great question....one I have not been asked before.  The tip will come
 to you the majority of times from the passenger's right hand to your
 right hand.  If your left hand is free, put the tip in your left hand
 immediately, so that if your passenger extends his hand you can then
 extend yours for a handshake.  If he does not, it is perfectly acceptable for you to
 extend yours first.  Regardless of who initiates the handshake, your tip
 will be in the left hand freeing the right for shaking.  Just going by
 my own experience tipping...not that I've taken many limos...often there
 is not an opportunity to shake hands...and that is ok too...of course
 a thank you for the tip is required.
