So I’ve got one super, 5 doormen, and 4 handymen/porters. I live in a $3550/month apt in a 17floor building. Ive been perusing articles on tipping NYC doormen, but none seem to address taking the number of doormen/porters into acct. $100 per doormen seems like a lot when there are 5 of them. Am i being stingy at $60 a pop? I also think the porters/handymen deserve as much as the doormen though they are usually quoted at like a third. Thoughts?
