Nothing. I’ve never seen my lawn mowers, yard maintenance people, or whoever delivers the paper. I do see the guy who cleans the pool. I pay him almost $2,000 a year! I do my own house cleaning. All these people are paid by check or online. Sending them a tip would just go to their boss.

However, when I go to a restaurant, I’ve been tipping at least $10, always, which last night came to 40% of the check. Those waitresses really need the money. Some people I know leave 10%, or even less.
