What do you do with your tips

[Posh]

I always get something towards my business so I know I ain't wasted them.

I've bought big boy backpack & pole. An ro system. Telescopic ladder & last year a new ladder.

At least I know I ain't blown it up the wall. Got somet to show for it.

What do you do with yours?

Tips?

To be fair I rarely get window cleaning tips, though I do get the odd £12 house say keep the change when they give £15 or something, but as most of my window customers pay BACS doesn't happen often, on the pressure washing side of things though I would say I get a tip maybe 50% of the time? quite regular.

This thread has actually raised some serious questions for me. I have always priced on the expensive side. I like to think my level of service and the quality of the clean is worth it, but I feel the price is the reason I rarely get any tips. I have a few people that tip me regularly, but their houses are ones I consider underpriced anyway and luckily the tip brings it up a bit. Because of the tip its very unlikely I'm going to up the price for them any time soon as it seems a bit ungrateful. I get on very well with all of my long standing customers,always time for a chat, polite etc. AnyoneI don't like is disposed of quickly, no time for idiots. Thinking to when I give tips, I usually do it when I feel they are underpricing thier services, for example the guy that does my website recently did a few little up dates for me and tried to charge me a tenner, I gave him £20 instead, still think that was cheap,but at least it was double what he asked for.

No no no, you do it because of social pressure and forces of American culture penetrating our lives./emoticons/biggrin.png

My plan was to keep the tips in a separate jar and treat the kids at the end of the year but seeing that I'm only running for 3 months that will need to wait a bit
