    I wholesale liquor to basically every place I eat at in town.. it's rare if I sit down though, get to go, but those people know me. Of course not the Waffle House, that's really the only place I'll sit down regularly in the county. I do have a private dining place where at times I can eat on the patio by myself, and I'll sit down at a table at our country club with either fried pork chops on white bread or egg salad sandwiches.. I deal with them too, plus I'm like the vp of our club.. So I try to make it a point to tip for my bubbly water and sandwich they hand me.

A little goes a long way

    My cleaning lady gets a tip on a regular basis but usually it’s just because I forget she’s coming that day and I never have the right change so I have to leave her more. It’s worth it though
    DC- which tip do you slip the cleaning lady? (And I'm impressed a young single buck like you has a "cleaning lady.")

    The cash kind.

    Paying someone else to clean the house is some of the best money I spend every two weeks

    Yep. When I was single my cleanorita was in the top 5 of expenditures on my budget. House payment, food, cleanorita.

    I miss her.

    Very nice to read this. Someone out there appreciates that job ( and your tip).

    This. Back in my single days, it was not considered a luxury, it was a necessity.

    I love a clean house, I just know that I'm not the one to do it....my favorite day of the week is "maid day".

    The only two tools that don't fit in my hands are a paint brush and a toilet brush.

    ETA: And dropoff laundry! First world priority as a young buck.

    Went into Dunkin donuts and bought a single donut and noticed they had a tip jar at the counter...this is what I would consider a fruitless endeavor on their part, but there was money in it.
    At least I'm housebroken.

    It’s probably their own cash. You got to put a little in it to start so people will feel more compelled.
