The doorman conundrum

I was speaking to Macklaine earlier today:

Ficali: Macklaine! Macklaine! Guess what! Guess what!
Macklaine: what.
Ficali: We found a new apartment! And Guess WHAT! It's got elevators. And a doorman!
Macklaine: Hmm. A doorman? Have you thought that through? I mean, what are you going to give him for his Christmas bonus?
Ficali: Oh. Erm. $50?
Macklaine: $50 for each doorman? Isn't that a lot? Besides you're only moving in in December.
Ficali: Oh. Erm. $40?
Macklaine [winding Ficali up]: Well you dont' want to offend them straight away and get things off on the wrong foot?
Ficali: Oh. Erm, so that's a $50?
Macklaine: And are you going to learn their individual tastes and bring them back coffee each time you go out? Like Delta does?
Ficali: Eeks, I'd forgotten about that.
Macklaine: Wow you really need to think about this more seriously.

[Ficali is now in a bit of a kerfuffle about this. Somehow I'd thought our new apartment was an upgrade.]
