Sorry, I tell a lie...a customer gave me 2000 envelopes 2 month back !
(He works for a stationery company)...not quite the same ;D
-
I think tips vary via region, I get a £5 tip Prob once a day at least.
Saying that the richer the custy the less chance of a tip.
-
I also receive tips often, small tips but often :)

I did a £130 job for an old dear a few weeks ago and when I finished she gave me an envelope and said there's a little bit extra in there for you .When I opened it up there was £300 in there , I told her i couldn't take all that , she said you have worked so hard and deserve it ,so I told her that I would take a £10 tip if that was ok and gave her the £160 back . Never in my life have I had that .

That's why all my prices are in 5's.
£65 £75 etc and sometimes then they
will round it up.

One of my regs went back to live in Austria, when we done last clean on house she gave me £250 tip, a complete hornby train set up including table and a brand new £1200 ice cream maker, all went on ebay and sold for £800 so had a grand tip. Doesn't make up for loss of earnings though 3 cleans a year costing 3 grand.

Hi Guys
I hardly ever get tips now which I think reflects my prices are right.

Many years ago we did Ozzy Osborn's house in Buckinghamshire, they were having the hall carpet replaced which was a Hugh Mackay beautiful light green supreme velvet, huge thing. than ran up 3 flights in very good condition, some of it had hardly been walked on.
They said if we could move it we could have it, ;D we did the whole house in this top quality carpet which would have run in to thousands if we had bought it in new.
I would have to say its biggest (in more ways than one) tip I have ever had.

Was given a nearly new Bissel carpet cleaner years ago,went on e bay.they had bought it,got half way through their lounge,then gave up and called me ;D

john
if the job comes to £80 when giving your custy the quote, do you knock a fiver off or add a fiver on?.
-
Depends on how long I think it will
take me to do versus have I put a
good price in and can it be dropped.
For a pensioner I would tell them £80
but your a pensioner so I'll knock you
a fiver off.
Usually find old people are more
generous and will say here's 80 keep
it. Especially if you put the odd bit of
furniture back for them as well.
Usual get it to end in a 5 anyway.
