One of my customers died the other week. They left me a ‘Christmas Tip Legacy’ in their will.

It says, for however long I continue to clean windows her estate will grant me a Christmas tip to the value of 5K, rising at the rate of 19 times inflation each year.

 Beats last years.

But because she was always a slow payer you have to wait until April 1st for payment?
It's a game of three halves!

I'm on for a record year 🤑 I must be doing something right!

Not as good as last year for me(£612)

Currently on £421 but it's better than nothing considering the pressure on people's finances..... :)

Surprised you get so little tbh Daz. You have roughly 3x the domestic customers that I have yet you only get £100 more in tips. My average tip per customer ratio is far higher than yours. I don’t butter them up with begging letters Christmas cards either.  ;D

Your customers must pity you much more than mine.....🤣🤣

I hope so, it means the act I put on is working  ;D ;D

Some never tip
Some always tip
Some keep you talking rubbish every visit and then are nowhere to be seen December. They’re  generally also the houses that ‘tacky’ up  with obstacles  ;D
Merry Christmas

Have you noticed some of the customers who keep you talking even do it when it's raining while their in their doorway dry and your getting soaked listening to their small talk! ::)roll ;D
price higher/work harder!

Strange isn’t it. The customer that comes out for a chat every month just discreetly pays online with no tip. Then the miserable cow at number 54, who goes upstairs every time you arrive to clean the windows to avoid any eye contact, leaves a box of celebrations out with a Christmas card and £15 tip. Weird.
