2 days agoWhat? Tipping movers is a thing‽ I’ve only ever moved myself, but I always assumed that you hire movers specifically to move you. Isn’t that the point? Why would you have to pay them more than they bill you? That feels like tipping your plumber for fixing your drain. Do people do that too?
I am.
But the plumber already charges for the service call + hourly rate + parts + after-hours/holiday emergency surcharge… what is the tip for? Was I supposed to have been tipping my mechanic too all these years?
