    No, I wouldn't. Maybe if he loaded the dishwasher for me while he was at it :)

    I think I will prolly be the minority on this one, but that's okay.

    IMO if somebody provides a service and they do a good job I generally tip them.

    I think most people wouldn't tip him though, so if you decide not to I don't think he'll think anything of it.

    You paid for delivery/installation , correct? If so, I wouldn't tip.

    I'd do $10 per person if they had to lug the thing in and then get it all hooked up and then lug out an old one.

    Did you pay that much for delivery and are you sure it's going to him?

    Yeah, $140 for installation and you're probably right - not all going to him.

    This, exactly.  It has never occurred to me to tip for installation/delivery of things like home appliances (pizza guy? yes dishwasher? No)

    this actually cracked me up. wouldn't you think it would be the opposite? the pizza guy stood at your door and handed you a pizza. the appliance guy lugged in a dishwasher (up any stairs?), possibly removed the old one, and hooked it up (water/electric)and pushed it back in below the counter.

    This I agree with you completely. DH says we have to tip people for their efforts. DH was a server at a restaurant to get through college so he is very giving when it comes to a service like this.. I don't understand how people don't tip. I'm amazed to see so many ladies say no.
