Well remember mail personnel are not suppose to accept monetary gifts. Or atleaast that is what I was told When I attempted to do the same (tip my mail person that is).
I do not have a problem in giving a gift (monetary or actual gift) to my garbage people (besides if you seen What all we tossed out during our basement remodel, they deserve it this year). My wife tips her hair dress well throughout the year so I am not sure she does anything more at the holidays Since she gives generously during the year. Now on the other side of things, my newspaper person (whomever that is), I probably will not tip or anything Cause at times I have to walk to various places in my yard to get my paper. Sometimes in the driveway, Sometimes in the middle of my yard, etc... -----Original Message----- From: Ray Champagne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 8:59 AM To: CF-Community Subject: maniacal tipping There's a conversation going on around the office about who should be tipped in your everyday life and who should be tipped during the holiday season. This seems to come up around the holidays, and it drives me nuts. I'm of the school of thought that if you are getting paid a decent wage to do your job, you don't deserve a tip. That is of course, if you go out of your way to help me out. Lots of other people are saying that you should tip, well, just about everybody. That just drives me nuts. Mailman, Garbage Man, the list goes on and on. Am I being a scrooge? That being said, I will be generously tipping my mailman this year, since back during the summer he got blindsided by a bee's nest under my mailbox. I still feel bad about that.
