| Now we have to tip plumbers? Electricians? Painters? Handyman? Who is on the tipping list now?? |

I'm the OP - I have no idea. The barista wants to be tipped and they make a decent hourly wage and get health insurance. This guy has been slogging in and out of the cold all day. |

This is not a thing.
I'm not saying you shouldn't have asked, OP, but our society has gone off the rails with tipping. Don't do it. |

| No, I would not tip. |

If they do a good job and you can afford it, maybe $20-40, or $25. If they came quickly and did a good job, I would. We did when we had ours installed. I am not a huge tipper but the guy came quickly and was really nice about it. |

| I don’t tip plumbers or electricians. I only tip regular laborers. |

Curious, on why do you make that distinction? |

| Was this an all day job? I’d definitely tip him… maybe $50. |

| I paid a plumber $400 to install a hot water heater. No tip. |

That's really cheap. We paid $1000K for the install alone. |
