Tipping. It was originally intended
for those who make a substandard wage due to the regulations provided for
waitstaff. Why, all of a sudden, do we think that we have to tip
everybody? Nobody tips me! And I don't tip people who make a living
wage. I always give my farrier and others who have helped me throughout
the year a Christmas present. Tipping has been distorted. Appreciation is
different from tipping.
uh yeah - our farrier - our old one who we had for about 12 years
before we moved last summer - would NEVER take a tip, He felt that he was
being well paid to do a job which he took pride in doing well. He DID enjoy a
Christmas gift and a little something when he was baptized:). He felt that we
were including him in our "family" in a way - not treating him like minimum
wage labor.
