We have been out of city since mid-March as DH has an underlying health condition. DCs and I are returning on Sunday for a few days for medical appointments then heading back to our home upstate. DCs want to do something for door men and building staff - we are in a rental building. They suggested pizza, though that means not all will be there to get it. Should we also consider a mid-year tip for each of them in light of the circumstances? We are fortunate to live in a building with such a great crew and would like to recognize their efforts in this difficult time. Our staff have been lucky but understand that there have been at least 40 doormen who've died during this crisis. TIA for any and all suggestions. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

MId year tip would be great. Even if they are getting paid, their household may have taken a hit. When our cleaner came back, we gave her back pay (we tried to do it weekly but she does not take venmo and would not swing by for it). She kept saying by text that it was not right for her to get paid for not working. When she finally came back, we put that weeks cash on the table and the back pay in a thank you card, thanking her for holding our spot. She left a post it note with a thank you when she left, texted thank you when she got home, sent a mailed thank you card the next week, and yesterday, three weeks later, (not her day with us) left a potted plant on our front door. It meant so much more to her than I even realized. [ Reply | More

We ordered our doormen dinner one night, but we know that is not nearly enough. I like the idea of June tip. December seems so far away [ Reply | More
