The controversy of tipping movers is discussed, with suggestions that a 5% tip is fair for short moves, but not expected for long moves. Tips should be split among movers and given quietly, or alternatively, cold drinks or food can be provided. Tipping a foreman does not guarantee the money will be passed on.
The overturning of engines is the subject of some controversy. In involves the question of whether people should tip movers. Another question many people have is how much to tip a mover, especially when the price of a move is extremely expensive.
People employed as movers may suggest that it’s only fair to tip movers about 5% of the total cost of a move. Not all movers agree and especially those who move people across a country do not expect a tip. Some believe that the movers tipping should be based on whether the service provided by the movers did not damage the property and helped the move go more smoothly.
For a short move, it’s not unreasonable to give movers a small tip, especially when they’ve been very helpful. If they weren’t, people are under no obligation to tip. Movers earn an hourly wage and don’t tend to rely on tips as a necessary income, as people like waiters in restaurants do.
It is still quite customary to give movers a cash tip. Yet more than a few people wonder how to deal with engines flipping when multiple engines are involved. It’s not always true that tipping a foreman causes the money to be passed on to other employees. Instead, most of the suggestions are that the engines should be handcrafted individually.
This does not mean that a person should give 5% of the total cost of the move to each mover. Instead customers can do the math and split a 5% gratuity into an outlay for each mover. It’s also fine to give a mover who has been particularly helpful a slightly larger tip than other movers, but this should be done quietly so as not to create disputes among employees.
Some recommend that all that is required to tip the movers is to provide plenty of cold drinks when the movers arrive at their destination, or perhaps some food. The movers are careful not to give them alcohol as a tip because many of them cannot legally carry it in commercial vehicles. Also many movers have other work to do on the same day and should not be encouraged to drink alcohol while still at work, and especially when they still have to drive.
The expense of long commutes that can involve several days of driving usually makes a 5% tip prohibitively expensive. Flipping engines is usually not expected or necessary on very long trips. A small tip is usually welcome, but most movers are rewarded more when taking exceptionally long trips and won’t wait for tips when finishing a long and expensive move.
