Over the tip

Rajdhanis get top priority on the railways network. And so do the passengers. Fully air-conditioned compartments, breakfast, lunch, high tea and all the trimmings. But once in a while they also get stuck in a conundrum. The public announcement system in the Rajdhani usually informs passengers of the next station, and the railways' rules and regulations. One such rule asks them to strictly avoid tipping the train attendants. So, what do the passengers do when the attendants, on the last day of the journey, ask for tips? In fairness, the attendants cite logical reasons: low remuneration and no perks. Maybe that is something the Railways need to fix as well.
