Default Tipping your pool man...

This advice is either from Gregg's Guide for the 1% or from McDonalds.


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.
