Personally don’t agree with tipping , we especially should not need to worry about them if you are reliant on tips then you are doing something very wrong , if ones choose to give a tip that’s up to them but we would never drop any hints , if a tradesman did that to me he certainly wouldn’t be getting one . Any tips we get the staff have and ime more than happy with that .

Are you JW ?

I know a fair bit about about nutrition but im just not interest in eating healthy really, i will when im in one of my going to the gym phases but when im not going to gym i dont see the point.

I just like junk i guess and given im not obese i dont really worry about it

I'd prefer they reward a years good service with a positive Google review to be fair

I was told to hand out Christmas cards by some old timer once but couldn't be bothered. One of my posh customers gives me a score every year as a tip and I must admit I like him more than all the rest on that posh estate. Every since my paper boy days in the 1970s I have always taken to customers who give me tips. 🤔

I used to think sugar caused diabetes but apparently it doesnt so i now happily eat crap everyday... normally have a meal deal, bag of crips, sarnie, fizzy drink and usually some chocolate or cake as well lol

Still only 12 stone odd with a 34 waist though

You must feel like absolute poope most of the time? I don’t know how old you are but a diet like that will soon catch up with you as you get into your mid to late 40’s.

It did catch up with me, only glad I never liked Red Bull. Managed to dump the diet coke and revert to water, brown bread but still on the real coffee. Try and curtail the coffee to 4 cups a day now.

If someone sent me that text then I'd think there a cheeky bar steward and probably camcel them. If they want to give you a tip then they will. It's a but cheeky mentioning it to them tbh.

I have found that since bank paymeants, the tips have declined no there not paying cash.

Next youl be putting a santa outfit on when the 1st of December comes to go round the run.

It all sounds a bit desperate to me, ive never expected tips and tbh they are almost non existent theses days anyway, its certainly dying out.

Daz sends them a card as a bit of manipulative giving i believe

You may as well just ask them

Even though I don't work anymore I have never during my working life dropped any hints with reference to tipping.

Like most WC's we did get a few and thanked the customers accordingly but I would never expect it or even drop hint ie xmas cards .

So does anyone drop any hints about tips to customers?

Similar to pubs and restaurants!

In your texts would it be a simple 'Happy Christmas' at the end of your I'm coming tomorrow texts? Or a more direct approach asking those who pay by GoCardless to let you know if they want a tip amount to be added to the total? Hoping with others not on GC to take the hint.

I've seen a drop in tips over the years as I think we get forgotten about.

Although I've never droped any hints before as thought it's a bit cheeky. But how else to we get our Xmas bonus or even a bit of money to cover our lost days of work over the holidays.

Just food for thought guys.
