Is anyone adjusting the amount given to their doorman this year? Last year when everything seemed a bit better, everyone in my group was giving around $100 per doorman. So, if you have 4 or 5 on a rotation, it was fine. But, given the economy and lower bonuses (if any), do you think expectations will change? What is everyone else planning to give? I live in the financial district.

Doorman compensation should be performance based as well.
For example, if he regularly scored you primo coke, barred your ex-girlfriends from entering the building, and helped you bury that hooker's body then, yeah, a hundred bucks sounds right.
I'm feeling a bit more generous this year, and I agree with the performance based bonus.
So I am borrowing my friends size 14 soccer cleat and I'm sticking my left unlubricated foot up Renaldo's ass.
I actually lol'ed at that one
