The holiday season is approaching fast and people often wonder how and who you should tip. We’ve compiled a few statistics and threw together some averages.
Mail carrier - This all depends how far he has to go to get to your mailbox. If he drives up to your mailbox, tip less. If he has to walk your route, tip a little more. This tip should range anywhere from $10-20.
Babysitter - How good are your kids? If you know your kids are a handful, tip a little more. If not, we’d still leave a good tip. Most babysitters make next to nothing and are also fairly young. Even $20 will brighten their holiday mood. This tip should range anywhere from $25-50.
Newspaper Carrier - This is just like the mail carrier. We would tip just as much seeing they have to wake up during brutal hours. This tip should range anywhere from $10-20.
Garbage Guys - This is a dirty job and even if you give the local garbage guys a buck, they are thrilled. They are out there in the hot and cold smelling like trash everyday. It’s always nice to tip the guys for the jobs WE don’t want to do. This tip should range anywhere from $10-$25.
These are just a few of the people we see just about every week. Of course there are others such as a yardwork, cleaning person, nanny, and the list goes on. When it comes to tipping, use your judgement! Remember a tip is based on how good they are.
