Do you tip delivery people, such as men that deliver furniture? Or, install new windows?

If the delivery men do more than you expected, tip them. Window installers and other craftsmen I don't typically tip, however, I keep them supplied with ice water or sodas......and maybe a plate of cookies. I say typically no, but, if someone goes beyond the norm I think a tip is in order.
Tipping is a personal thing!

Just the way I think too, especially the cookies and drinks.

A swift kick in the butt and a threat to call their boss if they don't do a great job is usually how I handle these things. You know how us old cranky women are........

I have always tipped, but wondered what others do. A neighbor was having some furniture delivered. She was up North, so I met the delivery truck. She did not say anything about a tip, and I felt, well maybe embarassed, not tipping, but I didn't.

I don't tip furniture delivery guys, workers around the house. As some have mentioned I'd make sure they something cold to drink and maybe a goodie or two to munch on! I do tip Flower delivery people though. It's become such a world of tipping and it really gets expensive on top of the regular charges. i do think a Christmas bonus is appropriate for cleaning people, lawn people and other people that service your home throughout the year.

I always tip for a job well done by delivery people. It's often difficult unloading stuff I order in all sorts of weather. If they do a really great job, I not only tip but make sure to call the company to tell them that their delivery folks are good representatives of their company.

I always tip, put yourself in the workers shoes or just remember when.

When I read the subject, I thought this was a discussion about tipping cows. Sorry 'bout that!
