Are you supposed to tip pool table installers when the job is complete?

I did a little research, but its hard to find anything referring to this exact issue. I did however find a bit on tipping movers. I don't know how well that will apply but here's the link.

Tipping sucks.

if you feel they did a good job.. give them a couple of bucks. we had a pool table put in and a light over the table as well. we bought them lunch.. just pizza etc. If you dont tip always offer them something cold to drink

give em a six pack of coldies.

I also searched Google, but couldn't really find anything. I may order a pizza for them. They seem like real cool guys and are doing a really good job, so it's the least I can do.

Purple drank, FTW!

A pizza might ensure that the pool table gets installed extra carefully Perhaps have the box on the table when they come in, and mention it's for them when they want to take a break
Just make sure they know you're bribing them with pizza before they do the installation lol.

I gave them $30 for their hard work.

Sometimes when I go out to eat with a group of friends we will give the waiter/waitress $20 or so and say something like, "This is just to make sure we get good service. If you want the rest, do a good job." And then we give them a good tip on top of it after we eat assuming they did well.

[Squeaks4ver]

30! darn i wanna go put something in your house now lol

Out of pure curiosity what kind of pool table did you have put in?

[Usf97j4x4]

Hell no. They get paid for that.

Exactly.

What about the people that actually engineered or assembled the pool table? Are you going to hunt them down and tip them?

Tipping is getting out of control. It's like your are supposed to tip certain people but not others. It's called a paycheck, people.

(let's not get into the food service crap)

[MentalTwitch]

x3.
Tipping is over rated. Its dumb and useless. We all get paid for our jobs, and if you dont youre a fool.
Its to bad the food/retaurant industry sucks, its too bad a construction worker makes better bank than a mover, but the mover hads to get a tip cause he applied fo rthe job.

I say, no to tipping.

Unless its cows...


**Disclaimer-i have never tipped a cow nor plan too, it just doesnt cost money and worked well, hahah**

I'm still not sure how I feel about tipping. I'm friends with a guy that installs pool tables and he gets tipped about half the time, usually around what you gave them. Anyways, that was very nice of you, whether they "deserve" it or not.
