Michael Jordan's tipping habits recalled by former co-worker

Ken Dunlap, the former visiting clubhouse manager for the Birmingham Barons, has shared recollections regarding Michael Jordan’s tipping habits during his 1994 stint in Double-A baseball.

Dunlap noted that despite the high level of service provided—which included managing autograph requests and personal laundry tasks—Jordan was not a significant tipper. Dunlap stated, “Michael was not a big tipper…. if he tipped at all, it was $5.” He expressed that such amounts were low relative to Jordan's earnings at the time. This account echoes long-standing public commentary regarding Jordan's perceived frugality, including past remarks made by Charles Barkley.
