Was I the only person unaware you were supposed to tip...

| Furniture/appliance delivery drivers? I'm sort of mortified! Luckily I am a relatively new homeowner and have only gotten a couple of things delivered "in person" (either had stuff shipped/picked it up and assembled myself). |

A tip is VOLUNTARY.
I didn't tip my washing machine delivery people, because they left before I could put the bills in their hands. I didn't tip the nice people who helped me load up at IKEA because again, they didn't seem to expect anything and they left before I could give them anything. Unlike waitressing, I don't think there's a hard expectation for other professions. |

| Yes I always tip. Amount depends on what heaviness, stairs, assembly. |

| If you pay for delivery, why tip? |

| Yeah if I pay for "white glove" delivery service of $250, I'm not going to tip |

+1. The tipping complex is out of control in this country. You didn't do anything wrong, OP. You don't need to tip furniture/appliance deliverers. |

| I don’t usually tip but the big stores send an email asking how they did and I do take the time to give them a good review. |

| I just ordered a peloton and I am seeing comments about tipping these delivery people as well |

| What about an appliance like a dishwasher or range which the men bring in and install (and you pay $200 installation for). Do you tip them? I would hope they're getting paid a decent wage. |

This. I also don’t tip on carryout, or Starbucks or Panera. WTAF. |
