| Baby Sitter | two nights pay or more, maybe a gift as well |
| Beauty Salon | the cost of a regular session plus a gift. No less than $5 per staffer. Depends of course on the setup of the place and how much work you regularly get done. |
| Cleaning Person | a weeks pay or more |
| Day Care Service | $15 - $25 and a gift |
| Garbage Collector(s) | $15 - $20 each |
| Mail Carrier | As with any civil servant, government agencies prohibit employees from receiving money as a gift or gratuity. The U.S. Postal Service is no exception, but they do allow people to be nice during the holidays and they accept the fact that it happens. The USPS asks that gratuities have a cash value no more than $20 and a letter of appreciation to the supervisor. |
| Newspaper Delivery Person | Daily delivery $15 - $25 Weekend Delivery only $5 - $15 |
| Parking Attendant(s) | If you care enough about your car, tip generously to each and every attendant individually. As a rule, you can give each attendant $10 to $20 dollars each. If you have unusual times when you bring your car in or take it out, or if you like to have your car ready when you get there, or any other service where they go out of the way for you, a half month's rate divided amongst the attendants is considered good practice. If you don't care much about your car park it in the street. |
