Thread: TIP

Surprisingly few customers figure this out:

If you make my life easy, I will go way out of my way to help you out.
If you make my life unpleasant, I won't stay that extra 15 minutes to re-check everything.

One particular customer always had a cup of my favorite black tea hot & waiting for me, a cleared off workbench, and lots of room to work. It was heaven.

Another customer invited me to a wildlife cooking contest each fall. Each employee prepared a wildlife dish (i.e. grilled venison chops), and each participant voted on their favorite dish. The winner got two addition vacation days whenever they wanted them. I had quite a difficult time deciding which dish to vote for since they were so delicious. =^..^=

Last company I worked for I had a customer that would always give me a box of Belgian Truffles. I have another company now that when I go into fix their copier I get a sample bag of their products.

I really do not expect a tip, however a simple thank you will do. I have customers who don't even do that.

The only tips I get are ones like "yeah I can tell you what's wrong with it, it's jamming --everywhere--" or "i think it might be the rollers" or "watch out, that stuff can get you dirty"

eh... I guess it is the thought that counts, but their tips really aren't that helpful.

Lots of people at my place think this way : "why should i give him a tip or anything?
He will take it from me anyway...."
There is an people who will offer u everything. Iw worked at one construction company, can say its an big company but they work enough. They have containers for office

.
When i finished my work worker who worked in that ofice offered me an beer!
I asked him is it prohibited? He answered me in stile of "who will know" .

At one point while we had "normal" conversation door was opened and i recognize his boss. I saw he was little bit angry. I was thinking What now...what will he say.
He say :"whats this?u drinking during work time?!Give me one and i will pretend i didn't see anything. !!
