I remember in the 1960s giving my paper route customers a card at Christmas as did my son in the ’80s.
The paperboy is a thing of the past, but the work continues. Our paper woman drives from Tracy to Castro Valley every morning. Our paper is never on the roof or in the bushes.
As a kid, we hoped for a Christmas gift from the subscriber — maybe $1-$5. This was in addition to the 10-cent tip each week.
So how much do we tip the adult “paperboy”? Probably $50-$100 would be appropriate, but that’s mostly because I remember how difficult a job it really is.
Merry Christmas to all the current and former paper boys and girls.
$10 to $30, or the equivalent of one month of the subscription price. Sometimes you can include a tip when you pay your bill. Remember that adults usually do this job these days.
Take, for example, your mail carrier. If they were especially helpful this year, you can certainly tip them. However, the United States Postal Service employees are not able to accept any cash, check, or cash equivalent under federal regulations. They are able to accept a gift worth $20 or less, though.
The estimated total pay for a Paper Boy is $42,234 per year, with an average salary of $38,060 per year. These numbers represent the median, which is the midpoint of the ranges from our proprietary Total Pay Estimate model and based on salaries collected from our users. The estimated additional pay is $4,174 per year.
Most pool cleaners either work for themselves, or are paid by the pool. But a case of beer or an extra $20–$50 (an extra weeks service cost) bucks as a year end thank you was always nice.
How much should I tip my hairstylist during the holidays? The general rule is to double the 15 to 20 percent you usually give, says colorist Sharon Dorram-Krause of Sharon Dorram Color at Sally Hershberger Uptown salon in New York City.
This will be a 20% tip amount. For example, on a $100 bill, double the bill in your head – the result is $200. Then move the decimal point one place to the left, which is $20.00. Thus, the tip amount in this example is $20.
A standard tip is for a bag caddie attendant is roughly $3 per bag, however, a $5 dollar tip will go a long way to ensure your clubs are cleaned with a bit of extra care and attention after the round.
$25 to $50 per worker or the cost of one service. The same approach works here if you have a crew of regular landscapers. Tip the team's lead, and let them divvy out the funds as they see fit.
