How much should you tip?
The economy may rise and fall, but it turns out that holiday tips remain remarkably stable. So how much is the right amount?
Garbage collector
What readers say: MONEY readers say they plan to give their garbage collectors $20, the same as in 2007.
The right way: Post recommends a tip of $10-$30 or a small gift like homemade cookies. Those who live in apartment buildings may choose to tip their super or building maintenance team instead.
