[RC] Tipping or gifts - k s swigartAs a person who is self-employed and with plenty of clients. The people I give christmas gifts to are my clients (i.e. the people who have be kind enough to give me money all year long) and a handful of my friends. These are the only two categories of people who get christmas gifts from me (note that family is not on this list, but that is more of a family thing). I only give a christmas gift to somebody who I have hired to do work for me (i.e. I was one of THEIR clients) if I also count this person among that handful of friends. Two of my shoers are my friends (I was invited to the wedding of one of them, and the other has been my RAT partner on several occasions). If I give them a christmas gift it would be because they are friends, not somebody who works for me. kat Orange County, Calif. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
