[Murpheeee]

Do you tip any of the following at Holiday Season.....if so, how much....or maybe a gift?

Newspaper deliverer
Mailman
UPS/Fedex
Garbage pickup

am I missing any?

 

[iamwiz82]

why in gods name would you tip anyone at UPS? They have no respect for any packages. I have 2 friends who work in hubs and both of them have told me some pretty amazing storied of how much abuse packages go through.

Why would thier tip be any different at Christmas than any other time of year?

Mailman

Why would you ever even see the mailman, he stops by your mailbox for 2 minutes while you're at work.

UPS/Fedex

At least thse guys come to the door. I guess you could tip them.

Garbage pickup

You gonna get up at 5:00AM on thursday morning and run outside in your robe to give the guy $3?

I tip the prostitutes, but only if they dress up in those sexy santa's elves costumes...

I'd never tip anybody just because it's Christmas.

Our Sunday paper costs $7.90 per month delivered. I mailed the carrier a check for $20 last December.

I always give good tips to the woman that cuts my hair. She's very much in-demand and I always seem to wait too long before trying to make an appointment. She's worked me in many times.

The only special "holiday time" tipping I do, would be the paper delivery guy.

Cows. But only if they wear those silly elf or santa hats...

When I was a kid delivering papers I never got any tips except for at Christmas, even then hardly any maybe $20 total. Other carriers who had different routes all got much more - around $100

I have no idea why, I was very good and reliable

And why would you even think about tipping a Postal worker?? Nothing against them, but that is a federal job...

I thought it was obvious. So they don't... well umm... go postal.

I give mine $10. Real nice ones I had in the past got as much as $40-50 from me. My current one isn't so outstanding. I also give $20 to the office cleaner lady. I always stay late in the office and see her.
I also am a little more generous with my dining tips for great service. Generaly I tip 20% of the check anyways but great service will get as much has 40% from me near Xmas. Last night I ate out and gave the girl $20 out of a $50 check. Its worth it to see then light up after a long night.

Thats what I was thinking, since we moved in in April, ours have been excellent, you could put a dead body out at the curb and they'd take it away

 

[Ponyboy25]

Screw them! They should tip me for using their services.

MR. BLUE
You don't care they're counting on your tips to live?

MR. PINK
You know what this is? It's the world's smallest violin playing just for the waitresses.

MR. WHITE
You don't have any idea what you're talking about. These people bust their @ss. This is a hard job.

MR. PINK
So's working at McDonald's, but you don't feel the need to tip them, do you? Why not? They're servin ya food. But no, society says don't tip these guys over here, but tip these guys over here. That's bullsh!t.

I don't think we ever have the same waste removal employees for more than 4 weeks at a time. It could be costly to tip someone who wont be around very long. Maybe that is just my area?
