He also has to purchase his uniform which is changed every 3 months or so....He also has to tip out other people he works with on a percentage basis and this comes out of his own money if the tip left is lower than the percentage he has to pay others (if that makes sense!!).....so please carry on tipping, you really are making a difference!
