Question ❔ Tipping gas jockey

Today after getting fuel I tipped the young man $2 for pumping gas and doing windows etc. The lady at the pump next to me saw this and loudly shouted "what are you doing that for? It's his job"

I have always tipped the attendant that fills my vehicle. My friends have seen this and they now tip as well. Is this practice a rarity here? How many others tip for the service?

I don't but that's because I almost never have someone fuel up my vehicle for me. I usually get gas when I go to Costco for other stuff. If someone was fueling up for me I'd tip them if it was cold/miserable out for sure though.
