do you just give that to the one you see the most? day shift v night shift kinda thing.

my budget is like your's- $100, just wondering if i should give it all to the one i see the most or split it up a bit. maybe $50 for him and $25 for the evening guy and $25 for the night shift...........

I gave $R100 which is $50 USD and a bottle of champagne. We only have the one guy so that makes it easier.

scuba steve · 12-06-2013, 01:11 PM

Axeman · 12-06-2013, 01:25 PM

We don't have a doorman, but have a staff of 3 building manager/maintenance people. I give each $50 and a bottle of wine usually.

pornguy · 12-06-2013, 01:56 PM

We have a private home but the school where my son goes has a Door guard, so we tip him. Here wages are low so only about 25$

xNetworx · 12-06-2013, 01:59 PM

1/3 months rent if you are feeling generous

American Psycho · 12-06-2013, 02:07 PM

usually the way it works it all goes in togethere and they split it up however they want between themselves.

Just give what ur comfortable with.

Obligated tippimg is bs imo.

Wow! then I am a cheap ass. That would be about $R1700 versus the $R100 I did.

theking · 12-06-2013, 02:20 PM

I once lived in a gated community and there was a security guard at the gate 24/7. I gave all of the security guys a C note around Xmas...which actually cost me $500.00-$600.00...because they had extras to keep the gate manned 24/7.

that's not how it works around here with doormen. you tip them directly, they put it in their pocket.

i like it this way better, i am also basing it on performance. 1 of my doormen always makes a chippie comment when he opens the door, like "that'll be $2, hehheh." i don't need that kind of crud every time i walk into my residence.

Buff · 12-06-2013, 04:02 PM

Buy him a decent Christmas present ($400ish). Your personal driver is the one you give a bonus to ($600ish).

What type of building do you live in that has a doorman?

SilentKnight · 12-06-2013, 04:05 PM

I take a middle man approach.

I have my chauffeur pay the doorman.

tony286 · 12-06-2013, 04:08 PM

I was a doorman in a condo building in NYC for a brief time in 1992, it bored the crap out of me so I went back to my service advisor job. But if I stayed there 4 doormen and they avg 15k each for xmas. The building had 150 units if memory served me right.

hmm, tipping the bldg manager, hadn't thought of that. is that common? the maintenance man and the cleaning gal certainly.

well, that just begs the question-

how much do you tip your chauffeur for paying the doorman?

Sunny Day · 12-06-2013, 05:26 PM

Ask any McDonald's employee. Their boss told them what to tip this XMAS.

Since I have no doorman, and there is only 3 staff members, I just go with all 3. Plus the manager does a lot of arranging of packages that arrive when I am gone etc. Most of the residents do the same, so it might just be the building custom, not really sure.

RandyRandy · 12-06-2013, 09:23 PM

According to this guide, between $25 - $150 per NYC doormen, depending on a variety of factors.

nico-t · 12-07-2013, 06:55 AM

talk about a completely superfluous profession. Is it so hard to open the door yourself? I would feel uncomfortable if a guy was opening doors for me every day.

Markul · 12-07-2013, 06:57 AM

I used to live in an apartment, then I grew up and bought a house.

:P

dyna mo · 12-07-2013, 07:03 AM

thanks peeps!

ftr, several of y'all have a hollywood image of a doorman. it's not luxury, it's security and for the overall day to day operation of a building.

a doorman at modern live or work facility runs the entry area, delivery people comiing and going, making sure guests show id and sign in, etc.

he's not standing out in the rain waiting to greet me when my driver opens the door of my maybach.

We only had one, he was there during the day. It was in Barcelona, so no real need for one. But was nice to have someone open the door, tell you people had called, give you your posts/parcels etc.

Houses are great.

And then you get to put on a new roof, replace the furnace and central AC, replace old wiring/plumbing, re-build a sagging roof over the back deck, pave the driveway, replace the 50-yr-old windows with new triple-pane thermals, overhaul the 1970s bathrooms, replace the aged kitchen cabinetry, update the lighting fixtures, new garage door opener, mow the lawn weekly, tend the gardens, pool maintenance...

Our house is 128 yrs. old this year.

I love a fix 'n repair place. Gives a feeling of accomplishment.

And exhaustion.

Yea I wish I never bought this fucking house... it's lost at least $150K in value since I bought it and there seems to be an endless list of things that has to be done ><

A crazy nut sack, willing to shave the hair of a looney cave man preparing for winter. Can also be found in an old mans belly rolls."

Why the fuck would you give him that?

ErectMedia · 12-07-2013, 09:20 AM

Chose my new place just a little bit outside of downtown, did look at a few downtown so guess I lost killer view, sundeck and a doorman, outside of downtown little cheaper, less congestion and more parking. Think I would tip based on how cool the dude was. Some people just do their jobs and others go above and beyond.
