What are we up to then lads? Big fat £0 for me so far
Zilch for me aswell !
Don’t expect to get any either !
our gaffer doesn’t even put a card up on the board for us all to share , and the places we deliver to care even less
What types of work will get the most tips? Home removals maybe?
2 years ago I got just over £100 in the run up to Christmas when I was delivering solar panels to homes.
We each got a 20 pack of larger, tin of Celebrations chocolate and a tin of Christmas biscuits off our boss. Thought it was a nice gesture

I’d say jobs where you deal direct with the public. Our binmen must get enough drink to last them all year and thats just from our village.
Used to get a few bottles of wine off shopkeepers when I was on the milk. Company policy was that all gifts had to be handed in to be put in a staff raffle.
Yeah right
Also got a £50 Asda voucher off a gaffer in the past to, which I was pretty gobsmacked about to be honest. Didn’t seem the sort.
It’s nearly Christmas and I’ve just driven off the tip, does that count?
Why give binmen a tip? They don’t heave big cans loaded with refuse into a dustcart anymore. Around here you have to sort all the rubbish for them, and have the wheelie bin facing the right way. In return they’ll empty the bins but expect them to break the recycling box lids, dump them several doors away from where they collected them from and throw the food bins on the floor, breaking the lids. They may also drop some “recycling” and let it blow down the road for fun.
So, should they ask me “where’s our tip?” I’ll give them a choice…
…Stanton Harcourt, Ardley or Sutton Courtenay.
Merry Christmas.

Nothing from any customers yet but got £100 bonus from the gaffer.
don’t work so hard next year!!
.
we have for many years passed got a christmas bonus based on profit made. this year we didn’t hit that target, so its a big bag of ■■■■ all and cheers for your hard work
Last time I got a tip at Xmas was when I had a paper round
last tip I got was a box of maltesers
We usually get £100 quid extra in our xmas wage.
As for the binmen, ours are bang on, take the bins back in for us and will lift extra bags etc that are left out so a case of beer a year doesn’t seem much if it stops them going all ‘jobsworth’.
" Don’t eat yellow snow! " is probably the best Xmas tip I’ve ever had
So far I’ve had a printed A4 piece of paper saying “thankyou for your support”.
£60 bonus and a £15 Tesco card.
$500 each ,drinks and pizza this friday morning(lasting into the evening hehe) coming ,in the depot canteen.
A company night(OH as well)
out in february to a dinner theatre in the city all paid for ,just get yourself to the hotel.
never was treated as well back in the UK.

I worked in the NHS for 13 years and have been driving trucks for coming up ten years, never had a Christmas bonus or tip of any kind.
I get £100 cash in a card we don’t have a works do but I’m happy with the money it’s one of the good things about working for a small family firm I get a little more appreciated. I even got £50 cash when I went on holiday in the summer to “get a drink” with I got smashed on that . I would get more but the only customers who offer me a tip are the elderly and I won’t take money off them.
