[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 38262, member: 3211"] I always tip my hairdresser very well - I've had the same one for something like 10 years now - have even followed her from one salon to another (twice). Once, in between salons, she actually came to our house and cut my hair and difficult child's hair. by the way, she is the ONLY one difficult child will allow to get near him with scissors, so that alone merits a whopping tip, if you ask me. She is a single mom and works hard for her money. I just love her - in fact, I always give her a little hug before we head out. She's sweet. We also tip 20% at restaurants. I had a girlfriend who always worked as a waitress and they get paid a pittance by their employers - really is a shame. I always send a little something with the kids for the bus drivers at Christmas. Last year it was chocolate dipped pretzel sticks (gee, I hope none of them are diabetic!). Some years, it's been a gift of an ornament or something. I am always working on some year-round, so I just put a tag on it and send them off with the munchkins. We don't have trash pickup, so I don't have to worry about that. Some of my neighbors tip the mailperson, but I wouldn't do that. I agree that they are well compensated. I have offered our mailman a cup of coffee to go on a particularly crappy weather day, but that's about it. Interesting topic - it's fun to see how it works in other regions of our little world.
