Sure, everyone can do what they want...tip or not tip, but I'd like to know where this all started.

 

Yes, we know restaurants pay low salaries because over time, they now expect customers to tip....but

 

Tipping someone to install a sink, a plumber, who is aready making $60 or more an hour? 

 

An electrician came to install two outside lights...just replacing two old ones.  He charged me $135.  It took him 15 minutes.  

 

I'm supposed to tip these guys according to the tipping police when they are already making more an hour than most?  I don't think so.

 

As far as I'm concerned, they should turn down tips.

BTW...I don't tip thinking of what a person makes..To me it's just a kind jesture...You never know what a person is going thru whether he makes $10 or $50 an hour..I've been blessed so just passing it on..

I had to get a new refrigerator during the summer and I gave the 2 guys $10.00 each.

No I don't. But I've tipped movers and bought them dinner after a long day of work.

That makes no sense at all.

@89135  I wouldn't. I'm already paying a service fee and delivery fee. I'm not tipping someone for doing the job they are already being paid for by the company.

Makes sense to me!!  If I'm in a position to be generous, then I will be!

No tipping when installation fee added as an additional cost of appliance.
