I don't tip unless totally necessary all year so I am not about to start at Christmas, we have no paperboy or milkman, the postman often put other people's letters through my letterbox and elastic bands all over my steps and the dustman leaves rubbish behind that I sweep away, taxi drivers try to go the longest route unless I tell them and even then drive very slowly until they drop off and then drive around like madmen not giving way and pulling out in front of you, so they can do one as well.
I don't really believe in tipping anyway unless someone goes beyond the call of duty.
This includes America which has caused a few problems in the past but I hold my ground and hope they don't shoot me.

In forty two years and a few thousand customers I've only been tipped half a dozen times.
I have one fella that tips us every year.
A true gent!
Everyone else ---- we will get over it 😁 or charge you more :moo:

So what's the criteria for tipping then ? Why the postman but not the cashier at your local supermarket ?

Me, I tip waiting staff, my cleaner and sometimes taxi drivers. That's about it.

No tipping at Christmas, it would only cause them extra paperwork anyway, as they would need to declare the tips to HMRC and pay tax on the tips.

Tip the paperboy. He's the only one that bothers going the extra mile to do a good job, Even if it's bucketing rain, I get a dry paper.

Postman - Never the same bloke week to week.

Used to tip the Bin men when they had to fetch the bin from the side of the house. Carried on even when I had to wheel the damn thing out and back and pick up the bits that had missed the back of the lorry. Stopped the first time the bin wasn't emptied due to some minor infraction of 'the rules'.

Don't tip tradesmen or delivery drivers for takeaways.
Don't tip the postman because they change too much.

Do tip the bin men because they never fail to collect and if I'm late they will stop when they drive past.

Don't tip post men or bin men - they are in full time employment. Little baffled by it to be honest. I do tip the paperboy and takeaway drivers though.
