I never tried to take into account tips at Xmas time when I was a paper boy, but when I was a waiter I did!! You would be surpised at the number of folks who spent lavishly on their meals and get alligator arms when it came to tipping!
Hi Ken, Boy oh Boy do I spread the wealth. Loads of tips on the home and office front (including every maintenance worker in my office building), mailman, delivery people at home, folks at restaurants I frequent and etc. And on the work front, I give out cool gadgets to a big long list of contacts. It takes a solid week to wrap and deliver everything. But it's all good fun and I love doing it! Best, Marty
Yes, I always do. They deserve a Holiday Tip.

We have a life style where we do not have these folks anymore, but we did at one time! Always tried to remember.

ReplyDeleteI give wine or booze of some sort to the mailman and garbage guys. It's the holidays -- time for some day drinking!
ReplyDeleteNice reminder! I try to leave something out for my mail carrier.
