[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 38152, member: 2727"] I have never heard of tipping the garbage man. I can't believe that they leave an envelope with their name on it before xmas. They sound like a bunch of spoiled brats if you ask me. Here in Ca in my city we are billed through the water department for the water use, Sewer, Garbage pick-up, Recycling, and EMS Subscription. (Emergency Medical Service) The EMS fee started about 5 years ago. It was optional for residences to pay a $4.00 fee per month so that we are not stuck with the outragious emergency call bill if we need them. I pay almost $17.00 per month for the Recycle and Garbage. Our trash guys are lazy, They actually get pissed off when they have to climb out of their trucks for anything. Our city set up every household with those big recycle cans and equipped their trucks with those fancy mechanical arms that reach out and pick up the can. They have three seperate trucks that troll through the neighborhood to pick up our green (Grass)can, Black, Household trash and green with grey lid for recycled. And our mail man.... We have many different mailmen delivering our mail these days, I guess their short on help. As far as tipping I will not tip the mailman nor the garbage man. They make more money then I do and they are doing what they were hired to do. Hairdresser which I rarely use I give a $5.00-$10.00 tip, Restaraunts, 20% if service was good, Never tipped the groomer, Car was which I rarely use I tip like $4.00, Car washes are expensive. Think about tipping my gardener but don't. Maybe I should start giving him a gift card or something on the holidays.
