Here's a question of minimal import. Since we dont have laundry facilities in our house, we have utilized a laundry delivery service. On Saturdays, we call the laundromat, the nice lady behind the phone dispatches Carlos, who picks up our laundry bag and returns it when the laundry has been washed and folded. Its a little on the expensive side, but its more than worth it in my opinion. When Carlos makes the drop, I add a couple bucks to the check (yes they accept personal checks, how cool is that?) and I assume that Carlos sees that money by way of tip, or it goes into a tip pool (which I'd also be ok with).
Carlos is not only prompt and efficient, he is also a nice guy. I mentioned that when he left this Saturday to my wife. She agreed and replied "we should give him something when the holidays come around".
I agreed.
So let me ask you this. How much do you think would be appropriate? Should I give something only to him or somehow figure out a way to gift all the people that make sure I have clean socks in a prompt manner? This being nice stuff is more complicated than I would have thought...
