[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 38409, member: 59"] Oh yes I do tip the pizza delivery person. I do not tip our paperboy because it's an adult who does it for a living and he rides around in his car delivering papers. We get the bill through the mail and there is a place to include tips but I don't. I figure he's a far cry from the paperboy who use to walk from house to house delivering and collecting. I do give him a monetary gift at Christmas. I also tip the car wash people. Like I said earlier I never understood the tip jar at coffee shops or fast food places. Well at a coffee shop if you sit there and drink it and visit then I tip, but not if it's cash and carry. But now my difficult child works at the local ice cream store and they have a tip jar and I have to say I always leave tips there at least. She made $3.50 last Saturday and was thrilled. No one has mentioned cab drivers, yes I tip them, as well as florist delivery people, they are usually elderly men trying to make some extra money. My Dad tries to tip the nurses when he stays at the hospital. Of course they always refuse so he puts it in their pocket. Someday he will get his hand wacked. He tries to solicit me into giving it to them and I try to tell him they will lose their jobs. But there is no telling Dad. And Fran my Dad must have gone to the same tipping school as your Mom. He use to leave #1 no matter what the check. I finally had to teach him what was customery. I agree the curbside service is well worth it. I just think they should have a set fee, it's worth every penny. Then you don't have to figure out who gets how much. I am amused to watch them all clamour to your car, one to take the bags out, one to check your bags in, another to take them to wherever they take them to gert on the plane. Nancy [/QUOTE]
