I'm getting a cleaner to come in for the first time (wahoo!) ever and I have no idea if/how much I should tip her. I moved here from the states and there, we tip. Anyone know the custom here (london)?
On that note, we live in a building complex that houses offices as well as flats and therefore have a front desk with very nice and helpful doormen, all very sweet and helpful with DD. In the states, I know it's customary to give xmas-time tips as thanks for the year-round help. Anyone know if a christmas/holiday tip would be appropriate? Also, there are 3 that help us frequently and then a few on the night shift that we don't see so often... Who do we tip and how? Or do we give something to the manager to split with the staff?
Sorry such a long msg... all input appreciated!
