Re: Christmas tips
Last year a RM van accident on Dec. 19 and no pay over Christmas because I was just short of a years' service. Christmas payday take-home pay plus tips (£0) was -£245. Not joking.
This year F/T take-home pay unaffected by unexpected deductions plus £0 tips.
So I feel quite wealthy compared to last year.
P.S. As a reserve I have had a few people shout through their closed doors "Oi! Paul/John/Dave - hang on a mo!" They open the door and see muggins here followed by "Oh! - where's Paul/John/Dave this week?" while discreetly hiding the card or present on the inside window sill or behind the wall....

It does not work like that... The money will be given to him and he has to say thank you even though he does not really want to be in the situation...scoobydo79 wrote:eastie wrote:Couldn't care less really, might be me but I get embarrassed when people offer me money
Fine. Let Me ease Yourembarrassment and give em to Me
I also get embarrassed by someone giving me money for doing my job when I already get a decent wage...
'Thanks and have a good Xmas' and scurries away with mimimal eye contact - do not need their money...
