Nothing for the parking guy. Mailman delivers to the superboxes, I have no idea who he is or how many of them there are. Gardeners finished for the season in October. Tipping everyone in sight, especially when they hint that they want a tip, rubs me the wrong way. Driving a BMW has absolutely nothing to do with it. My Christmas money goes to worthwhile charities, not charity cases.

if service is lousy, no tip. if service renders for a tip give a freekin tip..."what is this...? Sound's like the breakfast scene from resoirveur dogs." LOL!

I was at the California Pizza Kitchen in Tustin yesterday and the service was awful, no tip whatsoever....X5 or not. If there would of been a lot of people o.k. but it was the normal clientelle.

And please no cookies, I remember my days as a servant of the people and i'll tell you chocolates and cookies are a dime a dozen. yuck. call me ungratefull but that's just me.

and then there are those who get all the good gifts like $$ or gift card cause they kiss ass, but do nothing for you otherwise.

"dont ya just love the holidays"

im done.

Postman and the milkman meet in the pub, they service the same route and often have a drink together after hours.
"Man you gotta go to 457 Birchwood!" says the milkman. " I went around there this morning to see if they had a Christmas Bonus for me and the lady of the house took me inside, made me a wonderful breakfast then took me upstairs to bed and shagged my brains out!!"
Next day the postman gets to 457 and knocks. The lady of the house answers and says "oh I have something for you, here's $50 have a wonderful Christmas!"
"WHAAAAAAAAT??" says the postman "I met the milkman and he says you took him inside and made him breakfast and then took him upstairs and shagged his brains out for an hour! All I get is $50??"
"Ah yes" says the cutie " I asked my husband what we would do for bonuses for Christmas..... he said to give the postman $50 and f*ck the rest of them. The breakfast was my idea."

Read the OP. above The attendant doesn't do anything and therefore doesn't deserve anything period...... Final answer

Dont give them Gift certificate, they want money for milk and bread, not money for iPod or iPhone. Jeez, some of you actually recommend $0, I just can't believe it. Mailman $50.

what "consistent service" is he providing? it's a self-parking lot...

I've done nothing for you either, can you send me $100?
