Most work 52 weeks a year, 7 days a week, and a lot more than 8 hours a day...... I'm thinking we have a lot of Millionaire Lawn Guys driving around the Villages.
Poster also doesn't know the people at postal stations are private contract workers with low pay (have to bid) , no benefits, and no pensions. Every year I say it so here goes..... some people don't want to tip so they will try to justify that...... people that want to tip just do it. |
You certainly took my post out of context. I said based on 44 visits to my home a year at 5 minutes a visit equals 220 minutes or 3.6 hours a year. I pay him $900 a year for that 3.6 hours or or about $250 hour. I don’t know how many other lawns he does or how many days a week he works. I’m sure he works hard but in my case I believe he is more than well compensated and that’s why I do not tip him.
