Help......do you tip carpet installers?
They've just installed carpeting in three rooms of my house and will be finished up in a short while. Do I tip them?

6. Three guys.
My husband is at the ATM getting some cash for them now. They did a good job and worked really hard all day.
One wonders however if they're unionized installers.
And here he is, the tightwad bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive, Chief S itting Bull:

4. I'd not. If we have construction workers at the house for a long time, I'll buy them
pizzas each Friday, but for a one-day job? Nah.

9. I ALWAYS tip them as a bribe of sorts...
to come back and do jobs for me under the table for stuff that I hate doing myself.

12. Ah, now THAT is a factor that Mrs R understands much better than I do, and it
is indeed a valid reason to throw them a few bucks. She's REAL good about doing that, even though it's the case that men will do ANYTHING for her, tips or no, because of her looks and her accent, and the fact that (heterosexual) men are pigs, uniformally and universally.
There's some sexism there; non-heterosexual men can't be pigs too?
What about their right to be pigs?
I'm surprised none of the gay primitives have caught this yet.
