Who do you tip at Christmas.

Post by WolverineSteve »

Mailman, paperboy, lawn service guys, garbage men.

I do not tip or donate to anything during the holiday season except for someone giving good service at a bar or during a meal.
I do use up those address lables from St. Jude, Unicef, etc, etc tho. They are gifts after all. :)

I don't think I ever feel warm and fuzzy inside but I do treat the holidays for what they are, which is just another day... kinda like the rest of society.

Let me guess? You also like to tie on your favorite red "Loverboy" bandana and then sit down and hum "I'm too sexy for my shirt" while wiping at your ass with a good ol' fashioned corn cob?

When I delivered the paper I used to get a good deal of tip money at this time of the year.

Now they have these people driving around and just throwing the paper out of their car. When the bill is mailed there is a seperate area for a tip.

If you have to ask... you haven't been there.

Just make sure my mail gets here on time, my paper makes it to the lobby, my loser suburban friend's lawns are mowed, and you pick up the garbage on time.

Once you get that done.

I'll let you know.

When I was a paperboy, I used to ride my bike through the fooken snow with two baskets full of newspapers and a 70-pound sling around my neck. I walked the papers up to people's doors and for the old folks, I pinched the paper up high in the screen door so they didn't even have to bend down to get it.

I also had to collect -- 70 houses every damn month.

The old folks and stuggling middle income types always gave me tips, be it money, gift certificates, food, etc.

The prick doctors, lawyers, and university professors never gave me a dime.

If you have a real life honest-to-goodness paperboy and you don't tip, you're an asshole.

If you have a Messican who rides around in a car and throws your paper in the bushes, well then that's a different story.

As for postal workers, we've got windchills of about -15 today here in the Twin Cities so yeah, yer damn right I give them a tip for Christmas.

As for the garbage men, they don't even get out of the truck anymore as it's all roboticized, plus I pay an arm and a leg for trash pickup so fuck that noise.

Yeah. A giant arm snakes out of the truck and dumps the trash in the back. The driver sits there smoking meth, wacking off, and listening to Kool Rap 98.

He only gets out of the truck once a year to tape a card onto my trash container that says "Season's Greetings" with an envelope for a tip.

A good general rule of thumb -- if you're on a first name basis with the garbageman/paper boy, it's time to back off the drugs a little bit.


And there's parts of the country where they don't pick up the trash in a robot truck? Well, since some of you are still impressed by your shiney new indoor plunbing, I guess I shouldn't be suprised.

Nice.

I took my gf out to dinner last night, with Christmas tunes playing in the background. Food was great, service sucked. As a former waiter, I usually tip pretty good no matter what time of year, but last night I left less than 10 percent. And I usually try to tip a little more during the holiday period, even though I don't go out to dinner much, especially the closer it gets to Christmas, so last night's waitress was really bad.

Can't say I've ever tipped my mail dude. And I won't anytime soon with the freak we have here either. He's a fucking freak who has met my dogs several times, yet is still paranoid of them. Also, he literally shoves shit into our mail slot as hard as he can, making as much noise as he can, no matter if it's a single letter, or a stack of junk mail. A fucking ass, he is.
