Are you guys who have received lots of tips mainly normally receiving payment by cash or dropping hints with Christmas cards?

Made me laugh that Daz.

Was just thinking today it’s about time you put up your yearly Xmas tips post.  ;D

Tips stopped when I went WFP.  Which also coincided with reducing the amount of collecting I undertook.

I’d say it seems more about the mentality of the customer or demographic than anything you are likely to do throughout the year or level of service you provide. 
















Unless of course by comparison Daz looks down trodden and his van is tatty…

I was joking.....

Some customers just show their appreciation  with extra cash at Xmas time....

People tend to be more personable and generous up north.....

I find it's mostly the cash payers that tip,  I don't get a lot of cash payers these days so the tips have declined, I'm on about £70 and a bottle of red wine (yuck).

lots of customers who pay online will also give me a cash tip if their in when i clean,others pay me extra online so win win for me....

i actually thought that when i stopped collecting altogether a few years ago my tips would dwindle but they havent...i usually get around the £500 mark  altogether year on year...

The only thing about getting tips online is that it becomes taxable, whereas the cash tips go straight in the hipper🤐😜
