<prompt> Human: I give my building manager a holiday tip, but dont tip him for regular service. However, Im always at a loss with the various maintenance folks he sends for odd jobs, like when our fridge motor broke or we needed a door fixed.In both cases I totally blanked and apologized to the guy, but they both said dont worry about it, they dont expect tips. I dont know if they were being nice or honest.I have a guy coming today to fix our storm windows, and a painter coming on Monday. Both are hired and paid for by my apartment leasing company; I havent hired anyone, I just told my building manager what needs to be done.Should I tip these guys 10 or just be nice and offer them a water or rootbeer or regular beer?  <response>: Okay, Im going to throw this out here, as someone who as done these jobs. I dont expect a tip, or water or beer or whatever.However, watersodateacoffee is 30 expected, I mean I wouldnt leave a shit in your loo if you dont, but it is massively appreciated.A 4-pack of beer however, even if said with a wry - for when the jobs done - i.e. To take with me for later, thatll get extra jobs done and will have me buzzing on a high for days.
