Those who leave tips for candle servers may like to know how we allocate them:
There are basically three jobs associated with candle services:
1) Office Services: order entry, client records, petitions, photos from email, payments, emergency lights, phone calls.
2) Candle Services: labeling, dressing, lighting, and re-lighting candles; finished candles; cleaning altars, emergency lights, phone calls.
3) Reading Services: divining the outcome of candle burns, sending emails, Forum posts, phone calls, emergency lights, phone calls.
All three types of jobs are essential, but it is rare that one person will do all three types of work for a single setting of lights. Therefore, when tips are offered, we throw them into the kitty -- like waitresses do at many restaurants -- and then at the end of the week, the total tips are divided based on the number of people working on candle services in that week, andn the number of candle deacon job-steps each person has performed that week.
It sounds a lot more complicated than it is -- because Leslie Lowell does the math for us and we don't have to try to figure it out ourselves.
Blessings to all, and a Happy Jewish New Year.
