    Every year before Christmas, the garbage truck guys “helpfully” leave an envelope taped to your bin so you can leave them a Christmas tip. You’ve never seen one of these?

      Never ever. That’s quite a concept! So you leave it taped to the bin for a week with $5 in it?

      And what happens if you don’t tip them?

        No, you generally put the money out with the bin on the morning it’s picked up (and it’s more like $20 to $50 lol). My neighborhood is quite safe but even here an envelope filled with cash wouldn’t last a week.

        Nothing would happen if they didn’t get a tip. There’s a huge turnover in that job and none of the workers ever last more than a couple of months, so even if they had a grudge against you they’d be gone in no time.
