Holiday Tipping in an Apartment Building

By , About.com Guide   December 2, 2009

Follow me on:

If you live in an apartment, you may have one or even a few people to consider tipping this holiday season. The most common candidates include your mail carrier plus your doorman and super, if you have them.

Of course, these people are paid to do their jobs, but the point of giving a tip is to show that you appreciate what these folks do for you, and you're happy to help spread holiday cheer. Also, your token of appreciation and generosity will hopefully encourage the recipients to show you the prompt attention you deserve when an issue with a package or a repair inevitably arises.

Rent.com notes that holiday tips can range from $30 to $100, depending on your building and city and how often you interact with the recipients or utilize their services.

Whom do you tip for the holidays, and how do you decide how much to tip? Have you asked neighbors what they do?
