Who do you tip?

Hi,

Would you tip a Appliance Delivery guys? Why/Why Not? (Ie:  Lowe's/Home Depot)

Depends. Since some of the stuff is heavy and needs to be carried up two floors, I'll slip them a ten or twenty if they do it right. If they bitch or drag their feet, then they screw themselves out of the tip. And the last group, the tip I 'gave' them was not reporting them -- there was some kind of a macismo thing going on and as a result of that, they did some damage to a door.

Keep in mind customers already pay a delivery Fee (Ie:  55 Bucks, this includes Delivery, and normal installation of product, except for Water Heater/Dishwashers/Gas Ranges)

Delivery Drivers makes around 10.50-12.00 dollars an hour, Helpers make 8.xx?-9.50 an hour.

That has nothing to do with it. The delivery fee goes to the company, not the drivers and helpers. And a tip is a 'thank you', not a salary.

Edit:  Oh and so you know, tipping for these people "isn't allowed"

I've never had one turn me down yet. At places where the boss was watching, yes. But out on their own at a delivery? Naw.
