Holiday music is everywhere. Christmas trees line the streets. It’s almost socially acceptable to funnel eggnog. Mmmmmmm.
Holiday tipping season is here. If this is your first time thrown at the abominable snowman that is holiday tipping, you’re in for a rude awakening. You’re supposed to tip everyone that provides a valuable service to you over the year. This adds up to hundreds of dollars.
This year, forget about your hairstylist, waiter and doorman. What about the unsung heroes? The people who provide comfort, warmth and “entertainment” when you need it most? Who is letting them know, “Hey – you’ve been there for me and you've been on my mind. I care about you.”
These are the real all - stars in your life. You shouldn’t just tip them; you should provide them with a rousing ovation. Without further ado, here are 5 people you should be tipping:
1. Stripper: Talk about a consummate professional! She’s always there when you need her. She makes Britney Spears tolerable with only a few twists of her hips. Performing high quality work at a (sometimes) hurried pace, your stripper is one of the most underappreciated employees in your life. That’s nice you complimented her Christmas lingerie but who do you think bought it? Stripper Claus isn’t riding around on a giant heel, providing sexy outfits for you to gawk at.
Depending on your frequency of use, tip your most valued stripper between $50-100.
2. Bartender: Whether celebrating a promotion or mourning the loss of "Laguna Beach" your bartender has been there for you. They’ve watched you (embarrassingly) hit on the opposite sex. It doesn’t matter if you’re a pink flamingo drinker or a whiskey enthusiast. The bartender loves you no matter what. If you’re really lucky, they’ve thrown in free drinks. FREE DRINKS!? To think – you were considering giving $100 to some guy who opens a door!
If you have a regular bartender, tip them $50-100.
3. Blackjack Dealer or Cocktail Waitress: This one is a little dicey. If you’ve lost several hundred dollars over the course of the year, chances are you’re not excited to tip your dealer. On the other hand, wouldn’t it be nice to dull the pain of your loss by getting drinks quicker?
Win often? Tip the dealer $50. Lose often? Tip your cocktail waitress $50.
4. Coffee Barista: Sadly, (fatty) they know your name. Your breakfast sandwich is always hot and delicious. This is the most important part of your day. They anticipate whether you're up for small talk or want to remain mute. Most importantly, they know how you like your java. Whether you're facing mindless meetings, excel hell, or the annoying morning person, your coffee is there. Show a little respect to those who keep you shaky.
Tip your regular barista $25. (A $25 gift card to Starbucks is unacceptable.)
5. Smoking Hot Gym Hero: You go to the gym for your health? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Just like Richard Simmons is heterosexual. In your gym, there is one individual you look up to. That one person you admire while thinking, "Gee, if I could cut back on one double stuff Oreo a day (or a box) I'd look like that! Just enough tone, I can do that!" They are the sole reason you go to the gym - bringing you hope and inspiration. All those times you've been checking them out - they've seen. Did you think those 87 mirrors weren't giving you up? It's time to come clean and tip your hero.
Tip your hot gym hero $25 (Or leave it on them between reps)
