Candy canes, baked goods and $15 in cash. How members of the One-Percent stiff doormen at Christmas.

It’s a long-standing joke among the white-gloved doormen of a particularly high-end co-op in New York City that the multimillionaire doctor on the 15th floor keeps a spreadsheet of how long each of them has been employed.

But he doesn’t consult the chart so he can congratulate them on their anniversary at the building — it’s his fail-safe method of calculating holiday tips.

David Koch is noted among the scrooges. Quel surprise.

1. Is there a tax break in it for him?

See, its big government's fault.

2. Stupid as well as selfish.

A little money building goodwill with the commoners they depend upon is a no-brainer investment. Want that AC fixed quicker? Tip better.

6. my Dad was a Park Avenue doorman, and he said the cheapest ones were the most miserable ones….

and that taken as a whole, they weren't actually any happier than our neighbors in the Bronx.'I used to hep him count the tips every year- people who demanded many extras were the cheapest.

He worked for Lovey from Gilligan's Island, said she was awesome.

7. It makes so much sense, bettyellen..

"cheapest ones were the most miserable ones…."
