[QUOTE="Sue C, post: 38035, member: 87"] In my area, it is customary to tip the garbage men and postal delivery person at Christmas, but I don't do it personally. No one tips me and my husband for the work we do. I feel the garbage men and postal workers are doing their job like anyone else...and getting paid good for it. I do, however, give my pastor a gift of money at Christmas. by the way, I think our garbage men are RUDE. They leave an envelope with their names on it the week before Christmas like they are expecting a tip. That alone makes me not want to give them anything. However, if during the year we have something other than the usual garbage bags for them to pick up, husband has given them a tip on the spot. I tip 15-20% at restaurants depending on the service because I know the waitresses/waiters get paid so poorly. People I know here, including myself, tip their hair stylists 15%. Yes, I tip (or did tip when my shihtzu was still alive) the dog groomer 15%. I once tipped a lady for getting a job done fast for me. We needed something engraved. She said it would take a week. I whined (in a nice way) that I really needed it sooner. She had it done in 2 days. I gave her a 50% tip. (the cost wasn't that much) Hope this helps. Sue [/QUOTE]
