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

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

Curious, on why do you make that distinction?

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.

No, I would not tip.

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.

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.

$50 if he was pleasant and did a good job.

How much is customary?
