Do you tip the dustbin?

And then send it all to the tip?

And where does that go?<<>

No longer useless at all, this thread has become existential.

Must be living in a backward area I still buy my soap in bars.

Btw bible says we are dust and return to dust so are the dustmen also the undertakers ?

And if we are dust then is vacuum our end ?

That is existential.

What I've gathered from this thread is that in the UK it's better to be a dustman than a concierge.

And both are better than being dust.

Liquid soap is for the one percent.

I think that when lonely travelers ask the concierge if he can send someone to keep them company in their room, it is the 'company' who tips the concierge.
