Tipping question

[Cyinthenorth]

Tipping is dumb. I do it, but I hate it. I'm already paying an agreed upon price for a service or product that I can't negotiate. Why should I also help pay your employees wages?

The one non-traditionally tipped person I tip is the lady who cuts my hair. She owns the business, and has no employees, so I assume that she's built the cost for all she needs, but it's so damn cheap ($11.50) and she always does a good job so I tip a few bucks to make it an even $15.

I always tip the barber.

I always tip the barber.

Even if they own the business?

Even if they own the business?

Yep

Or they order 50 percent more than what they need and leave you with a pile of materials in your yard that you paid for and have no way to get rid of.

Man, sounds like some of you are getting fleeced by roofing companies. I am a project manager at a roofing company and I can tell you that I make sure that everything gets done the way it needs to. Our crews do what is needed to be done. I go above and beyond to make sure that homeowners get taken care of.

Should I tip a house painting crew?

not while they're on their ladders!

The only people i've tipped for doing work around my house is when I hired Two Men and a Truck to move in a large safe. It was about 100° and 90% humidity that day and the safe weighed ~900 lbs. I think the one guy may have dislocated his shoulder trying to get it through the door.

I didn't really think about tipping the tree guys after the derecho. Seems like I paid them enough as it was!

Preach. Countless companies were easily making $50k/day in the weeks after that.
