The diminutive sentinel held out his palm as if for a gratuity, which the boys ignored.

What did I just say in the previous entry? Republicans only tip if they feel they're being judged by others in the moment and they'll resent having done it for weeks.
Lindsay may have, if I'm being generous (which I hate to be but, as an intellectual, I have to pursue every avenue of textual possibilities!), denied the gratuity for other reasons. One reason might be because he knows the man taking the ticket money is a fraud and doesn't deserve a tip. Another might be that Lindsay knows tips aren't usual for this monetary interaction and so there's no need.
Miles, on the other hand, almost certainly misses the man's actions entirely, being somewhat oblivious to his surroundings in the manner you might expect from a young person with a penchant for clumsiness.
