Does your gardener / domestic worker use your bathroom?

I don't have a gardener anymore as he is Malawian and your brothers chased him away. I am now the gardener - when I work in the garden - my wife won't allow me in the house with my gum boots on - so if it is a No 1 - then - the lemon tree gets fertilized otherwise - I use the bathroom - and I always reward myself with a beer afterwards.

1. Probably - when I am at work - wonder what other crap she gets up to - probably tries my wife's clothes on (out of sight out of mind)

2. NO - I enjoy intelligent conversation over a meal

3. No - because then he will take his whole pay and blow it on booze instead of buying his kids food...besides the fact he is a lazy swine - he is lucky I pay him at all!!!

I used to work onsite - doing Italian Plaster for a number of customers, in most instances and especially with Black and Indian people - I would not even get offered a glass of water the whole day - Never mind sitting down to a meal with me or a Beer after a days work

What is it with Black People that they feel they are entitled to a "free lunch"? - hell my boss doesnt buy me lunch at work - I bring my own!!

We have a guy who helps us out now and again
Like this weekend he helped us moving and cleaning the house. He even will look after the house when we are doing the nightwatch
Sometimes when we do have money we will give him some other times when it is tight on our side we will make him a big plate warm cooked food.
We will drive him to his job so that he doesnt spend to much on taxi's etc

1. Yes, and afterwards they take a shower.

2. This might be the new South Africa, but we have standards to uphold.

3. With the high costs, we can't just willy nilly give beer away to just anyone.

haha

Yes they use our bathroom. We do not eat lunch with them. We give them cups of tea but we are in England anyway.

I am my own domestic. I don't need one to do my work, besides these days almost no one can afford them. I get one in maybe once or twice a year.
I do not let the gardener use my toilet, because I don't want a knife in my back or want to be raped. When I do get a domestic worker, I let her use the toilet.
I give the gardener sandwiches, cold meat and coffee for lunch. Sometimes some fruit too, but I don't eat with him. The once or twice that I have a domestic, I do eat with her.
I do not give anyone alcohol, because I don't drink myself. Besides I don't want to be accused of paying my workers with alcohol.

My gardener is my husband so I let him use the bathroom and the rest of the house. Then I pay him back in love and respect, it's far cheaper.

I would say this all depends on some things...

Different countries have different hospitalities...
If they need to use your bathroom, I would say yes, let them on all accounts.
If they are contracted to work a few hours it would be hospitable to offer them a cup of tea or coffee or something similiar...
If they are there the whole day and they havent brought lunch then you could offer them an appetizer or something - but usually workers bring their own lunch dont they? I would offer frequent tea/coffee though.
But as I said, all countries are different.. and people prefer different things too.
Or you could simply say to them that you are not sure about eating arrangements and ask them what they normally do at other clients houses..
Good Luck - hope you end up with a nice garden :-)

Yes, my gazi. We have a communal pit in the street. I share the bread I get from my baas with my char. And then we share the tin mug of coffee, but it is cold then. Mnandi!

Where else must I go when I need to use the bathroom? Huh? Do it like the dogs in the garden?

I donÂ´t have lunch, I wait until my husband comes home and we eat together at night.

I do not drink beer, but would have a ginger beer if it was not so difficult to find one here!
