just as idiotic as tipping waiters, hairdressers and cabbies. That's it, I have now changed my policy ad will no longer tip ANYONE after all your wise words.
Oh Cripes, do what you want. "they knew what they were getting into, I say let 'em crash" I haven't, thankfully, had cause to have the police, fire brigade, or medical profession attending to me personally, once a week for the last year.
Well, would you like to do their job? What is wrong with showing a bit of appreciation once a year to people who do an unpleasant (especially in summer), but necessary job. We always see our binmen and they rarely leave a mess.
I vaguely remember getting some tights through the door a few years ago (not primark). Presumably it is a promotional tool as once you have seen the fantastic quality and design you will rush off to Primarni and buy several more pairs.
Mr Asset says a tenner (I would give a fiver myself but then I'm stingy). They do a crappy job for not much thanks. I suppose we now have to tip the recycling guys as well.
just a thought, how come when another baby/maternity style shop opens up there are howls of disgust and derision but when the third wine shop in the space of 100 metres opens there is barely a mutter of discontent?
May I just recommend hinge bolts also. It's all very well having fabulous security on one side of the door and then having flimsy hinges on the other that with a swift kick would send the door in. Hinge bolts are cheap to buy, easy to fit and could make the difference. (they are sort of knobby things that stick out of the door jamb and fit into holes in the door when the door is closed)
roughly yes Brendan, a certain amount of gurning involved as well. ususally perfomred by the male of the species. I'll have you know, crystals are deep and my opinions are valid.
