Not to brag or act like I am rich or anything like that because I am not but when I lived in the states I basically tipped (toked is the term used in Vegas) just about anyone who did me a service, some only around Christmas but still they were toked.

Including but not limited to Pool men, yard men, part time house keepers, car detailer, mailman, Sparkletts man, Orkin Man, chimney sweeps, paper boy, etc.

Here in Costa Rica things are a little different. I definitely tip my building secruity man around Xmas. My wife handles the rest.

Your leaves are done by Xmas?



...on related note, glad I left North Texas for Florida as I am just fine with doing leaves and cleanups during Dec-Feb but hate working in temps under 50 degrees.

That is too extreme ! One should tip certain people routinely, like:

Waitresses,waiters: 15% minimum, unless totally dissatisfied and never going back.

Bartender: Even a buck every other drink, adds up, better than nothing ( as a former bartender).

Cabbie: They are close to waitress level, need tips

I'd skip many like mailman ( makes 50k salary), landscaper,mechanic,barber,pet groomer,etc.

wow i didn't know mailmen made 50k a year. i worked as a mail carrier as a part timer and they gave me $13 an hour. i lasted less than 3 weeks, 2 of those weeks i watched movies and shit then i went out like 3 days of street training and told them i don't want to do this anymore. you gotta sort the mail for like 2 hours then you go out and carry that 50lb bag on your shoulder. f that. anyway i don't go to restaurants or bars, its too expensive. i went out one time to a restaurant and a burger cost $10.95. really what the hell do they put in that burger? then you gotta tip the waiter? why go to bars either when a heineken costs $4. i know a guy that owns a bar and he says that he gets heineken for less than a quarter a bottle because he buys large quantities at a time. then tip the bartender are you kidding me? now i know why that guy tells me he's got to go take the money from the suckers. :ohno:

No Way

Wouldn't Tip A Service That Comes To My Home
On A Regular Basis, As Landscapers Usually Do-
Especially In Spring And Summer. Also, They
May Be Bosses Or Have A Share.

When The Season Is Over, And You Know That
Some Of The Workers Are Not Owners, Then
Once A Year Give A Nice Tip

We just gave them a case of Beer in a cooler while they worked! I'm sure they are all illegals since only the boss spoke english. Did a hell of job though and probably get shit for pay.

Dude - tell your wife you save your tips for strippers and ladies of the night.

That will shut her ass up quick.

No doubt. And put him in the doghouse for another 2 months
beyond the month he's already working on for being a cheapie.
That's a long time to go without getting any.
