@beach-mom I guarantee the person opening the mail at the office address is not the trash collector. I would be very hesistant to do that as it probably will not reach the person you want for various reasons. If you can, I would try and catch the truck itself and hand it directly to the workers to make sure they even get it.

I would not split the nail salon tip, I would give it all to the tech that has been doing your nails.

As for the trash company, that would be a great big no. Taping a card to the can with the persons name and an address on it, they're looking for tips.

I tip very well for services as I receive them. I don't give Christmas gifts to them.

I would also just tip the nail tech. She is the one who is supplying the service, the owner is making money on all of the employees anyway.

As far as the trash guys, um that would be a no. Our trash guys also have the automated arm that picks up the barrel and empties it into the back of the truck. They don't have to get out at all and they are ridiculous with their "pick up" times. You never know when they will show up, sometimes they are a day late and that's without a holiday!

We live in a townhouse complex so we have a mail building. We do not tip our mailperson as we never have seen that person. The only time I tipped a mailperson was when we lived way out in the woods on a dirt road and it was a difficult route for her but she was very reliable.
