Money for nothing and your chicks for free
I had a cap doffed at me today by a workman; I haven't seen this type of courtesy for some time. He wasn't an old chap either, quite young in fact. I was so impressed by this that when he was leaving I gave him a tip.
On reflection perhaps that's why he doffed, but it does prove one thing, and that is that just a simple thing like common courtesy gets results from people. It certainly did from me. I don't know how many deliveries he made today, but I am sure that if he doffs to everyone he delivers to, the law of averages dictates that a goodly percentage of customers will tip.
After all he does lump huge great washing machines and fridges around, hard work by any standard and well worth a tip to a helping and friendly workman. At this rate his cap will soon be paid for and he will be into the profit margin.
