Do you tip movers??

the only time i get pissed off is when people ask for a tip, or kinda hang around for that extra few seconds in silence just waiting. i had this happen to me a bunch the last time i was in miami.
 
i always laugh when u go to stores and there a tip jar, sinc emos tof thos eplcaes are paying there employees from 7-9 an hour, yeah i'm sure they need tips for doing there dam job
 
unless your in food service, or the guy who turns on the water and gives your a towel to wipe your hands in a bathroom (really classy place or strip club) you dont need a tip. cause food service people deal with shitty people all day long, and the other guy has to listen to you shit.

I do tip almost everyone. I had movers 2 times. The first time, I tiped the crew leader and told him to share equally. (I told him in front of the other guys) They were pretty good. The second time I used the same company. This time the crew leader or at least the guy that seamed to be the leader was bitching about everything. He told me that they weren't gonna move the stuff that wasn't already packed up. I told him I get charged by the hour and they get paid by the hour. So what does it matter if you lift one box with it full of crap or 3-4 smaller groups of crap. (Mind you, the vast majority was packed up). He told me they didn't have to do it. I said " Then leave!" I can cancel the CC payment. He then started to say that they would still get paid and bla, bla, bla.
I called the moving company and told them what was going on. The called that guy on his cell phone and told him what was up. Then they had him put one of the other workers on the phone and basically told the other guy that he was now in charge. He came over and talked to me. Everything worked out and the rest of the move was good other than the crabby guy bitching to his other coworkers. He keep telling them that they should have to move it unless it was packed or wrapped. In the end, I gave the replacement guy in charge a pretty large tip (Like $75) and told him to take money and give $5 to the trouble maker and split the rest between him that the other good guy.
So he and the other got $30 each and the dip shit got $5.
I tip a lot more than most.

let me ask you this, considering what you make an hour, do you really need a tip, or do you just want a tip? you tip waiters because they make 2.65 an hour and they base the other 90% of their income off tips. if you make say (for example) 10.00 an hour i wouldnt think to tip you. GRANTED, i've never ever had money to have someone move me, but in my mind i'd never tip a mover if i'd already had a contract/bill with the moving company for x amount of dollars. i think maybe thats why you dont get tips so much. but its just my 2 cents.

do we need it no. we make ok money... nothing to brag about but it is alot fucking harder then serving some people food.... we dont take breaks, and we work our asses off for about 6-14 hrs a day back to back....

our job today came to be a about 3k but the stuff we moved was valued over 75k (her movie room cost her 30k acorrding to her) just a few hundo shy because of 3 trucks and 6 men for 12 hrs... but when you are that fucking rich what is 1 hundo more?
 
i have a buddy who used to work for united van lines and they moved some family from saginaw to penn. i went with him to help, we each got tipped 50 bucks there was 4 of us. i guess its a prety standard thing to tip someone who is delivering something to your home, like the pizza guy, jimmy johns ect... makes me wonder if i should be tipping the UPS guy?

well most movers are not a salary job.... as a ups guy is....

but usualy on a out-of-town move is were you get the good tips... if nothing got fucked up along the way... if its loaded shitty in the truck... 5000 miles on the roads will do some damage...

How about your car sales man?

Yes, I always tip my sales person as long as they work hard for me.

Contrary to popular belief we don't get rich off selling cars. We make a good living.

I once had a customer think we were paid 7% of the total sale price of the vehicle. My jaw hit the floor when he said that. :lol:

I always tip the girls @ Milan's food stand. They don't have a tip jar so I just set it on the counter. I mean what's a dollar? I'm sure they aren't making shit.
