What to tip?

[George K]

'Tis the season.

We have three outfits that I usually tip at Christmastime.

1. The UPS guy. He ALWAYS brings packages upstairs for us. Not a big deal, but it's nice that I don't have to go to the lobby to pick things up. Last year I tipped $50.

2. Dry Cleaners. We've been with this company since 1982 (really). Great service, they deliver and pick up. Last year it was $50 also.

3. Cleaning service. We have our condo cleaned bi-weekly. Living room, master main bedroom, master main bath, and a powder room. I always tipped one week's fee. However, our cleaning lady quit about 2 months ago, and I have someone else, at the same price. What should I tip her? She's only done our place 4 times.

$75 each.

Don’t forget to take care of your personal tip advisors…

One cleaning is the standard tip.

Yeah, that's what we've always done. But by Christmas time, she would have only done 4 cleanings.

Not a big difference in money, to be sure, but I wan't to be appropriate.

Even at the cost of children starving from coast to coast.
