Gifts For AD?

[cincytri]

It is 100% situational for me. Barbers, waitstaff, letter carriers? Always and I generally tip more than whatever formula would require. For most over the counter transactions, I do not tip or give gifts. For things that have a more special connection for me, I tend to do gifts. When I used to race bicycles, I regularly brought my shop mechanic beers or coffee or small things like that. I picked up the guys dinner tab one night when I saw him out at the neighborhood restaurant. I am not a high roller by any means, so throwing around cash is not my style or goal. Sharing a few nice things between people is always appreciated and I enjoy being a part of the gifting. If/when I get my call for a new watch, I will probably gift a nice bottle or a gift card. I don't **feel** like I am sucking up or bribing anyone, but I guess it is possible that others know me better than I know myself.

Do you buy a gift for your local butcher or bakery as well? Or only on high priced items? So someone who sells cars should get 10 gifts a day from people purchasing a car.

Get real.

This guy definitely doesn't tip on take out food.

#1 it’s in the internet people get upset about anything and #2 I do agree that it’s a baffling state of affairs if people bring SAs gifts when buying luxury goods that nobody needs.

But if someone truly went out of their way and got you a watch that is literally worth thousands more once you leave the shop it makes sense that people want to show their appreciation. Since you want to stay in their good graces.

I always give a nice thank you gift to my AD rep. Some times expensive...some times small. It just to show my appreciation.
