haha i LOVE people like you around the holidays. i do all the jobs in the office since i'm the only other one there other then my boss, and it definitely has its rewards not just around christmas, either because they like me or they want me to hook them up for an appt. or both. i get discounted massages, other job offers or connections for other job offers, discounts at other doctors, free and discounted food, alcohol, dry cleaning etc...lol i get more perks then my boss does I'm a pretty good tipper...i think it's since i was a waitress and learned to appreciate it more. i don't tip the bathroom person though, other people i go by how well the service is (obviously). I guess it depends on if you feel comfortable tipping that person (i.e. cable guy, grocery bagger etc). others are kind of expected (cabbies, waitress, car was attendant, etc) its not REQUIRED that you tip in most places or to most people, its a choice
