The world lost its fucking mind.

I'm a school bus driver and while it's weird enough that we generally get tips (from the parents, not the kids of course) at Christmas and the end of the school year, a co-worker of mine last year handed out tip envelopes (like what garbage truck workers leave on the cans) to all the kids on his bus. At least he was suspended for doing this, as a bunch of the parents went apeshit.

Garbage truck workers what now?

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.

Garbage workers in my city are city employees who make decent pay
