BigVMan23 Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Had my carpet cleaned today, Stanley Steamer guys. Did a good job, and actually moved some furniture which I didn't think they would do as I was prepared to do it. I have never had the carpet professionally cleaned and didn't know proper tipping "etiquette" in this situation, but since they moved some furniture I slipped one of the guys a $20 and told him I appreciated it. So, it is routine to tip carpet cleaning guys or no?
Fear the Nation Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I tip anybody in the service industry who is respectful and does a good job.
Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Yes. They generally start at minimum wage, and move on to a betterrible paying job before they start making much more.
Jim Schue Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Yes. They generally start at minimum wage, and move on to a betterrible paying job before they start making much more. I hope you did that on purpose, but even if you didn't, In still going to use it because it's great.
woodsrider Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I don't typically tip anyone whose pay/salary isn't somewhat based on tips. That said, if they go above and beyond I would probably give them a little something. Not $20 something but a $5 or $10.
plantmanky Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Arnt you paying for the service with the contract? Why should you pay the people more on top of that?
woodsrider Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Arnt you paying for the service with the contract? Why should you pay the people more on top of that? Again if someone goes above and beyond.
Jim Schue Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 I hope you did that on purpose, but even if you didn't, In still going to use it because it's great. The correct word was always "I'm." Damned autocorrect.
Jim Schue Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Arnt you paying for the service with the contract? Why should you pay the people more on top of that? You use a tip calculator when eating out, don't you?
plantmanky Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 You use a tip calculator when eating out, don't you? Different your bill is for the food not the service.
Lawnboy13 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 It wasn't a tip, but one of my good customers that I've been delivering to for over 10 years, gave me a very nice flash of her "store bought flotation devices". :wideyed:
LCDAWGS19 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Different your bill is for the food not the service. My rule is to start with double the tax, and work my way down for bad service. My grandfather would start with $20 (regardless of how much the bill was), and take off a dollar every time he didn't like even the tiniest thing.
