Found this taped to the building entrance today. Thoughts?
Walking into my apartment building yesterday afternoon, I noticed a piece of paper taped right at eye level. At first, I thought it was just another generic "please lock the door" notice, but it turned out to be this.
It’s definitely a bold move to print and post a flyer asking for tips. On one hand, I totally get it—delivery work is grueling, especially with the heavy lifting and weather we’ve been having here in Germany. I’ve seen our regular delivery guys lugging huge packages up the stairs, and it’s definitely hard work.
On the other hand, it feels a bit awkward having it posted as a notice for everyone to see. It’s definitely sparked some debate in my head about the expectations around tipping versus the reality of their working conditions.
Has anyone else encountered something like this in their building? Is this becoming a common thing?
