It's the last letter.
http://www.mercurynews.com/entertainmentheadlines/ci_7842577?nclick_check=1
DEAR MISS MANNERS: I am a bartender for private parties and I work
for a wage and tips. My company does not allow us to put out a tip
jar, and I think when they book the parties, they let the customer
believe that our gratuity is included in the cost of the
party.........

Well if the customer engaged the services of your company on that
basis... shouldn't you be getting your tip from your employer?
I know if I hired a bartender for my private party, I wouldn't want
you soliciting tips from my guests.
If you did a really great job... I would consider tipping you myself
discretely, and after the party.
Your company really needs to make clear what the terms are during the
sales presentation.

That's pretty much what MM said, and she had more to say. Click on the

When I go to the barber (actually a strip mall where Korean ladies cut
my hair), I always leave a tip.
What is so special about Christmas for people like hotel porters,
barbers and food service people? Normally they get tipped year round
anyway.
On the other hand, there are some jobs like doorman, who don't
normally get a tip each time they perform a service. If you are going
to tip them, it makes sense to do it during the holiday.
