When my mother passed away The MacMillan Nurses that cared for her couldn't afford a Christmas party that year so my family had a whip round and paid for them to have a night out. When there's people like that doing that work for sod all "tips" taxi drivers can do one.
Yeah, hairdressers, restaurants, take-aways, cabbies all get tipped. ****ing ridiculous really. I don't even agree with tipping just feel like it's the right thing to do. I'll stop.
Edit. tell a lie. I stopped tipping cabbies in Brighton as their prices are a ****ing rip off. I'll quite happily...
Haven't tipped a postie in years. Dunno when they turn up now. I've had 3 lots of vouchers and money nicked from the PO before Back when I was enough of an idiot to send valuables in the post.
I give carol singers money if they're not grubby little tinkers.
