Are you a good tipper....

...or a bad tipper?

I believe that its not about the amount that we give but rather the spirit with which we give. This is especially so during trying economic times such as these. Giving a little with a nice note and a big smile is fine. Giving a lot is great...if you can afford it. Giving nothing to those whose daily efforts make our lives a little easier through out the year is inexcusable.

However...here are a few of my favorite excuses at reported by one of my favorite blogs...The Brick Underground.

1) They're just doing their job
2) I don't need a doorman
3) I just moved in here in October
4) I am moving out in January
5) I'm subletting, let the owner tip them
6) Nobody comes to my desk and tips me at the end of the year

Remember...don't take for granted the people that are there for you all year long.
