Tipping the delivery guys (another tipping topic)
Sorry for another topic about tipping.
Do you guys normally tip those who delivery furniture and appliances to your house? If you do, how much is appropriate?

I say no as they are only delivering a few items.
Unless they go over and above whats expected I see no reason to tip them.

I agree. And when they refuse to carry the washer/dryer up to the 3rd floor then they definitely don't get a tip.  |

Once I had some really great delivery guys, and, as usual, I did not have any cash. So, I wrote them a very nice letter of recommendation and sent it to their corporate office. I figured that this might get them a nice raise which would get them more $$$ anyway....  |

Anyone ever tip a cable repair guy for going "above and beyond"?
I had a really nice guy from Time Warner help me get cable through my wall which is normally a $20 charge by Time Warner but he did not charge me. He then waited around when he was done and chit-chatted and I had the feeling he was looking for a tip. Is that expected? I feel bad for not offering....
