The supermarket thread made me wonder who do you tip these days. Only waiters, the barber and taxi drivers for me these days where I normally add around 10%
|
I give postie AND dusty £10 ea pa, I'd probably give soup mkt del drivers a couple of squid as well, if I used on-line,
When I was in the 'tuning game', I used to do alright for tits,
Don't tell the IRS though, cos I blimming didn't ;)
|
Taxi drivers and barbers! Must be a blooming millionare! ;)
For me just waiters.
Although I just got back from a couple of months in the US, where every man and his dog wants tipping!

I tip the girl who cuts my hair, she does a good job and is very easy on the eyes, not to mention inexpensive and nice to chat to.
She charges £8 a time and I give her a tenner and walk out before she can get the change out, shes quite proud but I know from what she has said that money is tight.
Most people these days charge alot for their time so its rare to feel the need to supplement their income.
I get alot of tips, my trade seems to encourage it, not sure if wearing old clothes makes me seem in need :-) Usual tip is around 25%. Xmas pressies have been good this year from customers, although ive not the heart to say I dont drink alcohol, so I better start digging a wine cellar.

Dustman knocked on the door the other day - "Hi I'm the guy that empties your bins !" "Hi" I said "I'm the guy that fills it" No tip.

I went round the Council Offices the other day, i said "Hi I am the guy who sorts out the rubbish into 5 different recycling containers, lugs them down the drive and stacks them on the pavement every week"
They didn't give me a tip either. Just a Council tax reminder.

so you tip yourself then! ;-)

Mr pda is sitting in the 'naughty bin' in Tesco RDC at Purfleet as we speak because he was late.
He was held up at Romford at his previous drop for three hours and the naughty bin means Purfleet will get to him when they feel like it, as a punishment for being late.
He is out of time at 8.15 tonight and needs three hours to get home from there, but that means nothing to them.
Tip a Tesco driver?...No chance!

I spent nigh on forty years in a public service industry. No-one ever gave me a tip.
Guess what my attitude is?

Do you only have one of each old chap? Must be a struggle
|
I got a tenner this morning, £4.50 last night.
Still two days to go and hopeful...
