Don't forget to inform the Taxman :o

I got my annual bottle of red wine, but I guarantee that will be my lot.
I hate getting monetary 'tips' (had very few over the years, btw), it's patronising.
And makes putting the price up each year a touchy subject.
Get paid for what you do, no more and no less.
Do you tip the tax man? ::)
-
I got a tip too. She said "Don't take money off strangers."
-
I have got £46 + red wine
And two hand shake
Today

They can patronise me if they like ;D

It's always touchy when price increases are mentioned
Get paid for what you do, no more and no less.
True enough, but it's nice to be appreciated that little bit more
Do you tip the tax man? ::)
I don't know him personally so no, do you never tip the paperkid/waitress/binman/milkman/taxidriver etc etc?
-
£145 so far.usually get about £500 by end of jan.expect nothing and anything else is a bonus!!i dont think its patronising.just shows they appreciate ur service all the year round and i think they know we struggle to get our workload done on time in winter due to short days and bad weather! ;D ;D ;)
-
I've had £20 so far.
I normally get £50 - £60 at most. Not complaining. I expect nothing so any little bits are a bonus.
-
And let the bidding begin ;D
-
I am making a note of the ones that give this year, I will go the extra mile for them next.
£12 so far off two custies, and loads of all the best's.
-

was that £300 or £30
-
Dont seem to be getting as many as last year despite having more custys than last. Sign of the times. Will look after those that have been generous.
-
300 quid??????????????????????

-
The lads did a gutter job yesterday, £150 in three £50 notes, then he gave them another £50 note as a tip.
-

-
i don't expect tips i just do the job im payed to do
but so far £9 altogether from 3 costomers
-
Seriously, the biggest single tip I've ever had in 17 years window cleaning is £25.
-
Was the customer RBS bank? I here they give good bonus and tips, just ask Sir Fred Goodwin
haha
-
another £43 today!£188 now with 2 weeks to go! ;D ;D
-
If you are struggling getting any tips, what you should do is wear one of those Santa hats while you work. It does work.
Or better still, a pair of those antlers. Not only do you look cool but the customer appreciates your joviality and crosses your palm.
Give it a go. Please.
-
Huh 300 is nothing, I got 600 yesterday ;)
Pence not pounds ;D
-
got a £10 tip myself today on a house i was doing a first clean on beat that then ;D
-

Strange comments, I hope you refuse all tips.
Do you hand them back saying 'Don't patronise me'
Thought not, after all we work for the money, don't we
-
I have done ok with the tips, about a ton plus drink and biscuits.
My best tipper has moved away though - she used to ask me to come into the house to pay me on the last clean before xmas and put the cheque into my pocket when she stood up again!!
-
40 squid or so so far.
Had a 15 today, was nice, hes worth 60 Million (I google on my posh custards) so I was expecting something ;D ;D
-
He's worth £60 million and he gave you £15.
What a tightwad.
-
Far from it actually.
He's a nice guy. Very approachable, chatty. When I knocked on the place to see if they had anyone doing their windows, he said 'I'll give anyone a chance, how much would it be?'
I thought, what a nice person.
-

Swine flu, no chance of me catching that as I got my swine flu jab today along with the normal flu jab and some other blooming injection. I thought I was going to see the practise nurse about my asthma today, instead she thinks she's Dennis flipping Taylor chucking a hand of arrows.
Arms hurting now, so I'll have to drink my pints through a straw this weekend ;)
-
What about being patronising to the customer? Unintentially, of course :-\
Do you ever act all surprised when receiving one? When they usually tip you anyway.
Worse still is asking "are you sure?". I didn`t say it much and not done it for a long time but I used to cringe when I did :-[.
-
Mate of mine had to go into hospital with Swine Flu, they managed to cure him though..................he's now got GAMMON FLU ;D
Well I laughed at it when my daughter told it to me :-\
-
;D I had to read it twice though to get it :P
-
she thinks she's Dennis flipping Taylor chucking a hand of arrows.
You probably mean Phil Taylor, he's the darts player, Dennis is the snooker bloke, but I'll forgive you ;D
-

I was wondering that ;D just thought he had changed his job as was getting poor at the last one
-
The one's that don't tip me this year will be having a price rise next year! ;D
-
She might play darts like Dennis Taylor and snooker like Phil.
-
My xmas tip to you all dont make snowballs with yellow snow
-
£242 with a week and a half to go!i go collecting on monday nights so i should reach £300 by tuesday morning! ;D ;D
-
Geeez,
So far, I've had £2, (which was my next door neighbour) and a large jar of pickled onions !.
To quote the Catherine Tate Show, "The dirty firthy onion eating b'stards!"
But to be fair, I've only been at it a few months, so wouldn't expect too much anyway, but thought you all would like a chuckle at my expense !
-
I'm on £30 at the moment.
-
