Hey all. Today's a pretty lame day so far.
Today's Question(s):
This subject came up at dinner the other night, so I thought it would be interesting to see what is done in different parts of the country
Is it customary in your area to tip for the following:
Furniture delivery ? I don't think it's come up, but I know we wouldn't. Appliance delivery & set up ? Nope. Moving men ? Generally not. Coffee shop counter service ? Maybe, probably, but it's not guaranteed.
In my opinion, you don't deserve a tip just cause you're doing your job. Maybe, just maybe, if you were crazy helpful or something. But the only people I really see "deserving" it, is waiters/waitresses cause they make less than minimum wage. Even then, I don't owe you anything, so you better be pleasant and be grateful for what you do get. Extra Credit Question:
When was the last time the power went out at your home ? Maybe a week or two back when we had some big storms, it was only for like a second though. When this happens do you use flashlights or candles ? Flashlights. Bonus Question:
How many hours of daylight do you have each day ? Like 16-17 hours.
Just for Fun:
On this "First day of Summer" - what is your expected high temperature ? It was supposed to be 87, it ended being like 95ish and up. -_- Is there one "souvenir" you always buy when on a trip ? Nothing I'd get on every one, maybe a new stuffed animal or a small toy or doll or something when I was a lil younger. Who was the last person you shared a handshake with ? I have no idea. I'm sure I've had one since this, but you have to shake people's hands at graduation, which was 2 years ago in 4 days now lol.

I have no idea what is customary about tipping here.
Power went out a few years ago, I just went shopping.
We have about 14 hours daylight.
We got up to 95 today, heat index was about 105, right now heat index is 98 I HATE summer!!!!!!!!!
I always buy a t shirt when we go to NC
I shook hands with the new guy at work today.
Is it customary in your area to tip for the following:
Furniture delivery ? I don't know if it is customary, but I didn't myself.
Appliance delivery & set up ? I didn't.
Moving men ? Have never used moving men, but did pay a guy that helped me move some things once.
Coffee shop counter service ? Yes, people do tip for this around here.
Extra Credit Question:
When was the last time the power went out at your home ? Funny you ask, last night for around 15 minutes.
When this happens do you use flashlights or candles ? I was asleep, so I just waited until it came on. If the kids were awake we would use flashlights. If the power was going to be out a very long time, I have an oil lamp.
Bonus Question:
How many hours of daylight do you have each day ? Of course yesterday was the longest day of the year. It is turning light here around 5 am and dark around 10 pm, so 17 hours of daylight, that is a lot!
