Question about tipping

[Lexi Rae]

my theiry is ,, if it was me, i would want a tip....

I also agree, most of these men who are moving and delivering all these things to people, really work hard lift, carrying things, etc. and they dont make a lot of money doing it and some of them depend on the tips to make up for the smaller paycheck.

Honestly I had never thought about it either until I was reading on the web somewhere and someone mentioned "like tipping for furniture delivery". Had I not read that I would've never tipped them b/c I wouldn't have thought about it. I have mixed feelings on it too. Its coming from a havertys warehouse probably in a havertys truck and I paid for delivery so at first I kinda thought I shouldn't have to tip. It seems like we tip for everything now. I consider myself a good tipper too I tip my hair gal 25-30 dollars for a cut and highlight. I love her and she will stay late or come in early for me, its always good to be on good terms with your hair stylist. If I went to someone else the tip would probably be lowered a bit.

Anyway I'm guessing maybe 10-15 bucks a piece I'm guessing that there will probably be two of them so 20-30 dollars isn't bad.

I will tip $10 per guy they can have lunch on you. Some places will not allow them to accept tips, but it's a nice gesture to try.

I tip every delivery person.
What's the difference between, pizza, flowers or furniture???
A delivery is a delivery, and IMO they should be tipped.

I have never tipped anyone other than at a restaurant. I didn't know I was suppose to and I'm in the over 50 club. I really can't afford to either to be honest. For instance, I pay $50 for a cut and color (don't want my gray showing yet) LOL every 4-5 weeks so adding another $10-$15 is way outta my budget. I couldn't afford to do that with everything. Where's lady luck in the lottery when I need her? (no I don't really play the lottery, maybe that's why I've never won!!!)

Wow never thought of this before. I guess now that I think about it I compare it to my pizza delivery. If they charge a delivery fee I don't tip them, it's their job and they are already dinging me $2-$5 to deliver my pizza. On the other hand, if there isn't a fee than I do tip them.

I've never had free delivery of my furniture so I guess that explains why I have never tipped them before.

i tip for everything, i feel you just should... even the dog groomers, they
get 10 dollar tips for doing lexi.... you never know if you give a bad tip, the next time they might treat you dog not too good you know...
so tip, tip ,tip, its a good thing to do.... waiters and waitress are usually
supposed to get double the tax , i double it and then some... its just a way to say thanks...

Tiping is not a complex thing. I have been on both ends of that game and know how it works.
It all depends how comfortable you feel with your wallet, what mood you are in and amount of work done.

I tiped a guy $20 to deliver a plasma, 5th floor, elevator, nothing too bad, but turned out he was from my home town, so $20.
To guys delivered a couch that eve and assembled it, $10, Cable guy, $10. All for just doing their work.
Give what you feel is right, what feels good for you.
Me I am gald I am in a position to say thank you to a person with my money, money that he can use for himself, money that might help him.
Tip should come from a heart.
I think diners get the lowest tips, 2 bucks at most for a $10 meal, 3 for $20, $5 for 50.

I have never tipped for furniture delivery...never thought about it! Everything else gets tipped 20% of the bill. Sometimes more.
