Just another quick tipping question. Do you tip your window cleaner/s?

It says on here http://www.findalink.net/tippingetiquetteprint.php nothing, but do YOU?

They've been here for 4 hours, but charge a small fortune (services always appear to be much more here than at home).

What do you do?

Thanks

TruBrit

window cleaner bit posh that ain't it esp for katy

Bob

no window cleaners around here, they only do commercial properties, so that sorted that out

The rain washes my windows.

No-one had heard of window cleaners when I asked around here.

From what you've said it's probably OK not to tip.

The rain washed my windows when I lived in LA as well....I had really dirty windows though.

The rain makes nice muddy rivulets, yes

When we had the windows washed, the same company power washed the house and roof. We didn't tip.

Mandana

LOL, is it?! All I know is the windows were FILTHY

Our landlords were here for 2 years, and they told me the windows never needed doing, so didn't bother. At $270 I'm not surprised! Mind you, the window cleaner they recommended quoted $295!

I'm only having them done because my Mum arrives tomorrow. And you know what it's like - everything must be clean! Well, this anally retentive woman does (me, not Mum!)

Thanks for the replies guys. I didn't tip. Although they did do a great job. I went with my gut instinct and what the tipping etiquette link suggested.

PS. Trubrit. Good to 'see' you again! I posted for you a couple of weeks back but someone said you were off-line.

I'm not going to pay to see out. If I wanted to see out that badly I'd go outside!

TruBrit

oh lucky you having your mum come visit...have a great time!

yep it really is a red letter day having ones windows cleaned over here

Mandana

Good job you're not my husband then! He says I wash things before he's worn them (you'd have to be him to understand that logic!)

Mandana

Thank you. I'm absolutely shattered though! Didn't help that I had THREE UK calls during the night

My bloody fault for not turning my mobile off! Grr

Maybe I'll relax at BJs later?!

TruBrit

i saw him last week. first visit this yr out to katy and i can't believe how it's spread...soon be in richmond!

Mandana

Oh yes, it's growing faster than my hair, which is growing like billy-o since moving here!

Although it's now much shorter after taking some expert advice!

Mum won't recognise me
