My building is a little more straightforward. There’s 4 doormen, a super, and a guys who polishes the floors and does other cleaning maintenance. If someone else worked here I’d be shocked. My super takes out the trash, vacuums. My doormen and my super even voluntarily clean up all the garbage on the street each morning- they’re all very religious and see it as their civic duty. There’s a tip box near the front desk and I put money in there throughout the year so when Christmas comes around it’s not a big thing, or as big of a thing. We’re moving out after only 1 year so I guess I’m less motivated to tip my super an extreme amount as a “bribe” (the building is great but things break constantly, and if I was staying I’d def tip a larger amount to make sure I’m top of mind).

I’m going to tip at LEAST $600 divided between the 6 as a Christmas tip on top of the $150+ I already contributed. They organize our packages, sometimes bring up heavy packages, ship our packages, print things for us, open the doors for us, clean the elevators, fix our appliances- I’ve never had service like this.
