I'm guessing all of you non-tippers are the same people who are live in McLean and want to see it separated from FFX county. Be empathetic and think about someone else for once.
Imagine yourself as those low skill/low wage workers where one wrong move could hurt your back and put you out of work for weeks. Or having the rest of your family in another country to support. You are in your nice homes having people bust their butt to help your home look nicer during your quarantine and you can't throw them a $10? Come on.
C'mon. We live in McLean, am not in a McMansion and we tip generously. Don't judge people just because of the town they live in.
When we were house hunting you could get a lot more space for the money in McLean than in Arlington and you're still close to DC.

I'll gladly tip, but you have to have earned it. Be professional, respect my home, do something a little extra like move a piece of furniture or straighten the rug that you moved, be friendly - that sort of thing. If you waltz your surly ass into my house without so much as a good morning, track dirt in, do the bare minimum, etc., you can be on your way empty handed, thank you.
Unfortunately my experience has been more the latter. If people don't show they care just a little, why should I? At that moment, they are more or less my "employee," so I treat them as much. I wouldn't give a performance bonus to an employee who didn't give a shit.

Because someone is breaking their back carrying a very heavy piece of furniture into your house. You can give each $5.
And...that’s their job. There are plenty of people doing back breaking work at low wages. Do we need to run out and tip them all? Nope.
If they are doing back breaking work to service your needs it would be the decent thing to do. But you may not be a decent human, no worries.

I don’t tip if I paid for delivery.
Do you tip the pizza delivery guy when you have to pay a delivery fee? What about grub hub?
Np.
Nope.

If they bring something into your hose so that you don’t have to, yes, absolutely.
But that's why you already paid for delivery ... so you don't have to do it yourself.

It won't hurt you to give them a $20.

NP, but yes. Delivery apps clearly state the delivery fees are not a tip.
So ehy do you think the furniture delivery guys get the delivery fee? They usually don’t even work for the company. They are outsourced, and get up at 4am to drive from bel air, md or some place really far away to deliver your stuff. Tip the guys. They probably have all suffered from Covid this year.
I said I'm an NP. I'm not the person who said they don't tip if they paid for delivery.
