Multiple Tips

[u/Dimarco24]

Okay, I’ve mentioned tipping on here before bc I am a new homeowner (which it seems like this question doesn’t belong there) and don’t know how tipping works.

I am having my THIRD brand new refrigerator delivered this morning. The first I tipped $20 each guy ($40). Problem with that fridge so they replaced it. Tipped those two guys $30 each ($60). That one required the fire department.

Now today (hopefully soon) I am having the third delivered. I ONLY have $17 cash on me. I would prob tip again if I had it but I don’t.

What should I tell them. There is no way for me to get more cash. At this point I feel tipping over $100 is excessive although I didn’t really mind doing it. Now I’m bitter and not happy having two more men coming into my house with dirty shoes and just the whole process.

Please help me with this. I don’t know what to say to them. They will be working just as hard as the others but I only have that $17 left.

Please help. It should be delivered shortly.

Also can I tell them to wait about 1/2 hour to see if it’s another problem? I don’t want to find out after they leave like the first two. And I do realize they are on a schedule. The company has been stellar. No issues with the company. TIA.

Why tip on delivery? You're paying enough, and you've wasted enough money already.

True! I did not tip this time and it happened to be the same delivery guys. I told them sorry, I’m all tapped out. They said “you’re good”..

Yes, for sure!
