But still, I never heard of tipping a gas station attendant before.

Do you tip the cashier at McDonald's? Come on, it's just $2.

Do you tip the cashier at Walmart? Come on, it's just $2.

Your justification for tipping a gas station attendant can be used in any situation.
As yours can for not tipping ,what is the point?

The point is that it makes no sense for someone to say "It's just $2, why not tip them" when they don't do the same thing for the thousands of other people that provide goods or service to them in some way.

And he makes a valid point that I thought about myself. There are many service people that we typically don’t consider tipping, and given the poll results, for the vast majority of us, gas station attendants are one of them.
