    If you work(ed) in a Garage, could you please tell me what pressie / small token you would appreciate at Christmas?

    Their are two garages I'd like to give a gift to this year, but unsure as to what though. Nothing major like, just a Thank You pressie / token gesture type gift.

    What is it that you would appreciate :)

    Thanking You,
    kerry4sam

    Something that can be split between the staff. Something like a case of wine, slab of beer or the like.

    Buy them a Focus RS clutch kit and accidentally send it to me.

    Honest they will love it (Also i may send them more vodka)

    Recommending them to everyone you know.

    We're nearly as bad as the USA for giving people tips for doing their job.

    Off topic: Waiting staff in the US depend on their tips as their salary - hence the reason it's taxed. IIRC the basic pay is just over two dollars an hour so you are paying the bulk of their income.

    Some of my friends spent the summer in sf, waitressing in diners etc. They were on 10 something an hour.
