Default Tipping your pool man...

XXX is really having trouble with the first rule of holes. Facing bad

publicity over an employee helpline telling workers to apply for

government assistance and an employee tips website offering budget

advice like selling belongings on eBay, XXX has just kept digging. The

fast food chain added a holiday tipping guide to that website, only to

remove it after CNBC described the content:



The tipping guide from etiquette maven Emily Post on XXX website

lists several high-ticket suggestions for givers during the holiday

season, including "a gift from your family (or one week's pay), plus a

small gift from your child" for an au pair, "one day's pay" for a

housekeeper and "cost of one cleaning" for a pool cleaner.



The site also lists suggestions for dog walkers, massage therapists

and personal fitness trainers.



XXX's workers are a lot more likely to be coming at this from the other

side of the equation, working second jobs cleaning pools, doing child

care, or cleaning houses and hoping for tips themselves rather than

trying to figure out how much to give. It's really starting to seem like

XXX upper management needs Emily Post to give them advice on how much to

tip their drug dealers�I don't know what they're smoking, but it must be

powerful stuff if they think their minimum wage or barely above workers

have massage therapists and pool cleaners.
