[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 75197, member: 1912"] A nice attitude to have and definitely some good points covered. The example you give of the driver assembling the womens furniture is a great example of how excess helpfullness can sometime get you burned. You will sometimes find yourself in a situation where you go the extra mile for the customer and they then want to tip you in gratitude. Those types of tips I always politely declined. Officially we frown on tips. We don't want our drivers openly working the customers for tips. And we probably don't want you going around expecting tips and then getting PO at the customer when you don't get one. I do think we recognize that some customers will give gifts and tips during the holiday season and may even get offended if the driver refuses the gratuity. I personally don't see anything wrong with it at xmas time and yes I even gave mine a little cognac to sip on as he reflects on the past year. I think its something you have to do a little soul searching on. If its a spontaneous act once a year then don't fret it. Tips and gifts are officially against our policy so if your boss says absolutely no gifts or tips then your hands are pretty much tied. I think most of us look the other way at christmas. I would think a reasonably priced gift card to a popular store, gift certificate to a resturaunt , cash in a card,or even one of those alcohol gift boxes they sell ( assuming your driver drinks) would be appropriate.
