compostcorner wrote:my view is that a christmas tip is for a years work, a number of my people say thanks for all you have done this year, i wouldnt be happy if somebody took my tips on my day off just for one days work, luckilly must of the people on my round wait for me and hand it to me personally. people who want it put in a pot and shared out are usually the ones that get nothing, i dont blame them for suggesting that, but just imagine having to ask the postman who gets over £500 to share it out with the rest of the office...good luck with that.
aye, and the managers putting in their tips//bonuses, too would be a giggle. if you get a doorstep tip (cos you were there - even for just one day) then accept it in the spirit it was given...with thanks for what the tipper has done = the fates dealing YOU a card that YOU deserve. after that you play it how you want...share it, give it back to duty holder or give it to a beggar or charity/someone more deserving than you...what goes around, comes around.

Thats fine if you give your floater a 6th
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

I don't expect tips because most of my customers are hard up. Most of them would probably expect me to give them a tip!!
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.
