If there's a delivery charge, nada.

We're supposed to tip these people???? I thought this was a "so you want a Coke?" situation. GOD DAMN IT!!! Would someone PLEASE come up with a list of all the tips I'm supposed to be leaving...

Bingo! I tip like mad in most of the usual cases (servers, bartenders, pizza guys) but I've never tipped a furniture delivery crew.

I have experience in a similar industry. The people delivering your stuff get $8/hr. The 175 does not go to them. This is dificult manual labor, I would give them $100-$150 to split,$33-$50 each. $20 is on the low end of what they will recieve from most people

i'm gonna let you all in on a little secret. none of us tip to make the recipient happy, ultimately we do it because it makes us happy (which may be because seeing the recipient happy makes us happy)

so, tip what you feel like, whatever makes you happiest

With a ridiculous delivery charge like that, I would expect one of the delivery guys to be a woman with huge tits coming over to give me a hummer. Don't you have a friend with a pickup truck?

I would definitely tip if there was no charge, but you will only get that from a pretty cool store. Same thing if you get a good mover who gives you a good deal and the help is good. If you don't want to tip a lot (more than 5 bucks a head) I would have some cold ones around or something. Having done this exact job, a little consideration goes a loooong way.

Say you order chinese or a pizza. The bill comes out to $10.83. Do you seriously give the guy a $20 and wait for him to fumble through his pockets, and give you $9.17 in change?

Wow. You totally ignored my post about tipping baggage handlers in airports. I guess you do like sitting in the airport for 6 hours waiting to find out that your luggage is in a city you've never been in halfway across the country.

I don't use the queerbag curbside crap. Plus, I lump them in with bellboys anyway. It's the same thing. Also, I've only once had an airline misplace my luggage and it didn't have anything to do with tipping the curbside guys.

Frankly, the whole thing about if you don't tip me, I'm going to do something bad to your stuff is incredibly moronic and childish. Do your [censored] job and the tip is for good service.

I'm not a cheap guy and I tip well, but the whole thing is getting out of hand. A tip is supposed to be supplemental and a show of appreciation for a job well-done, not an entitlement.
