Would you tip the guy who is installing a new dishwasher? We paid Lowe's a fee ($140) to have this installation done.

Thoughts?

Would I? No.

It's your money though.

Blowjobs. At least that's how most porn goes.

Under most scenarios...no.

Now if he encountered something unexpected and went above and beyond to make sure you were taken care of, then yes.

You have got to be kidding me here. That installer is doing the job he's being paid to do. His tip comes in the form of a paycheck from Lowes and probably any benefits that Lowes provides.

It's your money - tip him if you must. I think that's ridiculous though.

I used to deliver furniture and appliances back in high school and college and we would get tipped every now and then for installing washing machines/dryers/window units/TV's/VCR's etc......I've never had to install a dishwasher bc the electricians mostly did that

Just had mine installed today.

He thought he would have to do some cutting. It was going to be $50 extra. He ended up not having to do it. I tipped him the $50 for his honesty.

You paid $140 for that?! It's easy AF dude.

FYI, I just bought a washing machine from Best Buy and they offer free delivery and installation. I'm sure the same applies for other appliances there.

Just the tip.

But only if he got stuck.

I’m confused. How do you “install” a wife?

I've been there long ago so I might depending on service but it wouldn't be much.

I would of course offer a cold drink upon arrival and ask what I can I do to make his job easier.

We just had a new dishwasher installed. There's no way I would have tipped that putz a dime. The install was fine, he was a typical idiot New Jersey liberal. Tried to tell us how racist Durham, NC is and how great it is that Biden is now in office.

Why does everyone expect a tip for doing their jobs? I understand the service industry where they are paid less than minimum wage but regular jobs don’t deserve tips unless they go way above what their expectations are.

I tip movers because they do some heavy lifting, but other than that I don’t.
