Tip or No Tip

[12Pack]

Furniture guys coming Wednesday this week to deliver and set up a bedroom set and a new kitchen table set.

I assume one tips for this and if so how much?

 

[Dudeman1967]

I've never tipped furniture delivery guys.

I once paid them $20 to carry the old couches to my basement when the new ones arrived.

 

[Lerxst]

in the bedroom, always go for 'just the tip'

$20.00 sounds good. It is enough to buy them lunch.

 

[Chad]

I always tip the furniture guys. It depends on how much they are bringing in, but for a whole bedroom set and kitchen table, I'd probably go $20 each.

 

[Kerouac]

I prefer to go balls deep.

I always tip the furniture guys. It depends on how much they are bringing in, but for a whole bedroom set and kitchen table, I'd probably go $20 each.

Personally, if I paid the furniture company for delivery and setup, I wouldn't expect to tip the delivery people. Yet, I will tip the maid at the hotel, even though I paid a fee that includes maid service. Go figure.

I wouldn't tip per say, but depending on how much they did, I might offer to buy them lunch and throw them a 20. If later in the day, I'd offer to buy them some beer.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

If they arrive in a timely manner and do a good job, I'll lay a 20 on them.

 

[Modern Saint]

No tip unless they are going to do something not on the job order.

When the installed and took my old fridge and stove I gave them $20.

I used to get all my furniture myself when I had a pick em up truck but I did get a fridge delivered once and a queen sized bed, two seperate occasions....never did it occur to me to tip them.

 

[BrammyH]

I used to be a mover. We'd move entire houses for no tip.

Tip the manual labor. Most of them are probably making minimum wage with little sick time. A $20 goes a long way.

Unless of course, they exhibit behavior that rules out a tip.

Skip to about 4:10
I love this scene

 

[smurfco]

Of course you should tip them, you cheap motherfuckers!

 

[Guitar Heel]

in the bedroom, always go for 'just the tip'

but just for a minute.

 

[12Pack]

Tipped.

And gave them two bottles of water each for the road.

 

[tompetty]

Tipped.

And gave them two bottles of water each for the road.

That's what I do too...Usually offer them a beer while they're there. Only one guy ever drank a beer...

 

[Gary Blanchard]

It is sad that more and more employers are under-paying people and encouraging customers to make up the difference through tips.
