Are you planning on tipping landscapers, mail carriers, or trash collectors this year? A Bankrate report found that Americans are most likely to tip their housekeepers, if they have one. 80% of all Americans say they tip during the holidays as a way to express their gratitude. The median tip for housekeepers and child care providers is $50, and the median tip for teachers is $25. Postal regulations say employees can’t accept cash or gift cards…just gifts worth $20 or less. The report found that landscapers receive about $30, and trash collectors are tipped $20. (newser)
