paper boy Christmas tip
« on: December 20, 2016, 04:16:49 PM »
It's that time of the year again!

What would be an appropriate amount to tip him for the holidays. (yes, he did put a envelope with my paper requesting it)

I fell like if everyone gave him $20 that would make him so rich that he would retire...

Everyone will not be giving him 20.
"LESS IS MORE" It is the cumulative effect that kills deals!!! How many times do I have to say this?  >:(

My father told his Valet attendant, I'll give you a dollar a day every time i pickup my car, (which is like 300 days of the yr) or ill give you a one time christmas bonus of $200.

Which would you choose?  ;)

Working five days a week, minus yomtov and vacations, is less than $200. What date was this offer made? In January or in December?

You should offer the paper boy the choice of $20 at christmas or a dime every time he drops off the paper.
