$20 ?? i think?

years ago we had a resi client, the wife left us a year end bonus $20 on the kitchen table, and the husband left us a year end bonus $20 on the desk. 6 p.m. we get a call, "umm this is kinda embarassing but my wife left you a tip as well...can you give it back?"

back then, $20 was a big deal to us!

I had a $75.00 tip this year and my helper received $50 at a job. The client knew she was being a pain because the interior decorator had to reposition the furniture into perfect position, before we could go in a clean the traffic areas.

Monetarily $100 is the biggest...gotten them several times over the years

"best" tip, are the homemade pies and cookies an older lady brings me every year around Christmas.
Jenny-Lee doesn't have a lot of money and only has a her living rm and hall cleaned every couple/three years
but those pies and cookies she hand delivers every year are worth more than gold to "me" cause they're made with love

The largest tip I ever recieved was $100 bucks. I got a $25 dollar tip today on a $195 dollar job.

With that said, if we're getting tips over $50 bucks, does that mean we're not charging enough?

Best tip from a customer was when they informed me their public company was being acquired
