A tip for the holidays?
December 5, 2008
If you spend any time reading personal finance blogs you’ll find that few topics get people’s dander up as much as the topic of tipping.
Who to tip, when to tip and how much to tip are often points of contention among people. And in the midst of the holiday season, the talk of tipping has shifted from the everyday stuff to special tips for Christmas.
Liz Pulliam Weston offered a guide to holiday tipping yesterday in an MSN Money post. What followed was a storm of comments to the web site’s message board with varying opinions about tipping.
There are some people who tip everyone regularly and extra at the holidays. Then there are people who are really anti-tipping on the grounds that no one tips them, so why should they tip anyone else.
Some people seemed frustrated that the topic of tipping was back in the spotlight … again.
If you are someone who wants to tip the people who regularly provide services to you throughout the year (hair stylists, cleaning person, newspaper carrier), Liz offers a guide as to what the average tip should be.
Do you tip? When? Share your thoughts.
