When I was trad I usually got quite a few tips, then when changing to WFP it dried up. Have the odd customer who still give us a tip.
Have any of you found since changing to WFP tips disappeared
D.A,
Don't you think it's more a case of 'familiarity breeds contempt'?
How many new customer's have you had that were over-the-moon to be able to find a good window cleaner, made a special effort to pay you, then as the months dragged on they weren't as quick to stick that cheque in the post?
Then at Christmas, when the customers you took on that year tip you; don't do the same the following Christmas; yet you've provided them with exactly the same service as the year prior.
They may eventually have said stuff like, 'Are we due already? Haven't you just been?'
I reckon it's more a case of 'familiarity' more than anything to do with your WFP!
I personally always tip my bin men; since they're great; they take almost anything, but my postman is a grumpy-young-bloke; always has his headphones on... so he gets nowt!
