People will generally "go the extra mile" for you if you are a good tipper.

For instance, say an animal tears open your garbage bag and makes a mess.
A good tipper will be remembered and the mess cleaned up, or if the lawn guy
sees a broken window at the rear of your house, he will make you aware of it.

Nuff said.
