[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 38078, member: 1024"] Our garbage men up here are terrible. I do tip, so that my garbage cans don't end up in the middle of the street or end up in the way of me pulling my car in the driveway. The garbage guys sometimes leave garbage in the cans. We don't always have the same guys, but word of mouth that we tip, usually works to our advantage. In my other development, there would be garbage strewn everywhere when they left. Most of the time, they were good with us. I am in total agreement about the tip jars for a cup of coffee. It steams me! or even at the bagel shop. I gotta tip for slicing me a bagel? Generally, the service around here stinks anyway. When we had our store, we used to get a TON of deliveries from UPS and Fedex. The regular delivery men knew that I had a baby (at the time) and wouldn't ring the bell. If it was extra heavy and I caught them, they would bring it in the front door or put it in the garage for me. I tipped them. I don't tip now, cause we hardly get those deliveries anymore. When we first moved in our new house, the mailman was kind of a jerk. I didn't want to tip, but I did anyway. We just gave 10 bucks, but he's much nicer now.....go figure. Money always talks.
