Christmas Tipping at Daycare - HELP!!
She will also be staying at daycare while my sister and I are gone over the holidays. Daycare is also where she is groomed, and I tip appropriately after every grooming session. My question is... What is a good holiday tip? I don't know exactly how many people work at daycare, but there are probably at least 7 people. I will tip seperately for her holiday stay, but am baffled as to what I should pony up to say THANKS!! for their hardwork during the year. Should I get multiple gift cards so each person gets one? Just cash? PLEASE HELP ME!!!  |

Wow, that would be generous. If you felt the need to tip everyone, "I" would give them a free starbucks coffee giftcard. That would be cheap yet sweet!  Here, hot chocolate is popular (there's a stand on every street), so I get giftcards to get a free one ALL the time from people.
When I'm at the hairsalon and want to split my tip, I just tell the person I am paying at the register that the tip is to be split. I don't think $3-5 each is a lot. $21-$35 (7 people) extra than what you would normally pay when it's not Christmas sounds reasonable. I plan on taking my dog and since "I" feel I already tip generously, I only plan on tipping $5-10 bucks more than what I normally tip. So, for me.. it cost $90 last time (each time is different), I would pay $112 (around 25%). |
| I love the starbucks idea!
I tipped my groomer, $100.00, but he is only one person. Plus I never tip on individual grooming, since he is the proprietor. I average about $150.00 a month in grooming, between Stellie and Zak, so I don't feel too bad about not tipping with each visit. |
| Amanda, I used to work at a doggie daycare and we used to get tips anywhere from very generous to none at all during the holidays. But *most* of the regulars would tip everyone that worked there. The most common gift was a $5-$20 gift card (best buy, blockbuster, starbucks etc) but we also got a lot of cash and food (people would order us a bunch of pizzas, bring in bagels etc). We really appreciated the gifts, as we really did take good care of the dogs!
So I guess my suggestion would be to find out exactly how many people were there and get separate gift cards for everyone! |
| Thanks for the suggestions
I will probably do the Starbucks gift card thing. I won't give it to them until January, so maybe it will be a welcome break getting something after most people give.  |
