[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weigh in on a debate:

Some of my friend group were discussing how much money we were giving our cleaners as a holiday bonus, and one person noted that her husband "doesn't believe in giving them extra money", so she was giving her cleaner a soap making kit.  The cleaner has never indicated that soap making is an itnerest of hers.

This is tacky, right?  I feel so bad thinking of this hard-working lady's disappointment when she realizes this is her "bonus."

We were trying to reason with the soap-giver, and now she is angry an not speaking to us after telling us that we are "part of the problem" and "the reason these people expect more and more."

Your friend is wrong; it’s a bad gift and a bad way to talk about people.

But jeez, it sounds like you guys spent the time berating her and calling her cheap, which is pretty rude as well.

Tell her once. Stop being friends if you decide your values are different (maybe by the way she spoke) but no need to embarrass her. Sounds like you guys were sitting around bragging about how much you were giving; the whole thing sounds crass to me![/quote]
