The two men who moved us in nine years ago charged way too little. They worked and helped and were stellar. We insisted they take much more than they asked for.
However we only "tip" these folks at Christmas;
Lawn people, Pool people, Trash people. We don't hire anyone to trim the bushes or clean the house.
Is this getting to be a battle as to who is the most decent human being? Money is power. If you don't spend it, you still have it, to keep yourself independent and to help others. Only God is interested in how you disperse it and only He knows what is in your heart.
I believe that tipping contractors is more geographic in origin than it is an ethical or Miss Manners issue. Midwesterners didn't tip the Vet when he came to castrate the bull calves.
