tip question

[sugarbear]

I hired a service for a deep clean. A husband and wife came and should be here for four hours. They are awesome, so far.

It will cost $300 total. Do I tip? How much? Cash, or can I include it in the check?

You would tip them on top of the money you are paying them? Are they from a cleaning service?

They are employed by the service. Definitely not self-employed.

Iv never had a cleaning service, but if its possible I'd definetly tip them cash seperate from the check you're writing the cleaning company. You wouldn't want to risk that the company might not pass the tip along.

I keep thinking about this husband wife house cleaning team. They must work really well together. I wonder if their own house is a mess.

They are just chatting away and have been, for two hours. They are some sort of Eastern European. Probably talking about my mess.

I had. $50 cash, which is about 18%, so I hope that is ok.

You didnt specify, so I'm assuming this is vagina related.

Lol nope. But I did have a baby last week, so...

Hm, I don't tip my housekeeping service.

I thought this was going to be about only inserting the tip during sexual intercourse. *disappointment*

Sorry to disappoint!
but, since I'm bumping the thread, I'll ask again... What is the protocol here? A different person is coming in two weeks. Again, not self employed. Do I tip, or not?
