Are you supposed to tip appliance delivery guys?

I hadn't thought about it and they'll be here in 30 min and H just asked if I had cash.  I think I have $2 and theres no way I'm dragging the kids out for that

    Do you have any baked goods? Beer?

    I do if it's a PITA to get what they're delivering into the house. 2nd story apartment with narrow stairs and 2 barking dogs = I tip in my house.

    1st floor entrance, unobstructed path, maybe not.

    I possibly overtip so I would disregard this whole post.

    I know most box stores won't allow tipping.

    They're bringing the new fridge in through the garage directly into the kitchen.  they might have to take our door of the hinges, and we've already put the other fridge outside so it's about 1/2 the work of what they signed up for.  And the alcohol is mine.  They can go lick up I95

    I wouldn't.  I think tipping is way out of control these days.

    I never have but we've only had appliances delivered once. LOL

    I never thought of this though.

    I worked for an appliance delivery company that did deliveries for Home Depot and Lowes. When our techs got tipped it was only occasional and they were always super grateful and excited but they never expected it.

    We tip if we're having something large delivered, like furniture or appliances.

    If it has to be taken upstairs, I tip.

    My husband ends up giving them beer, but money wise, I vote no. It's their job.

    I have never even thought to tip an appliance or furniture delivery guy. 

    And generally, I am a generous tipper.

    I guess I always assumed the box store employees couldn't accept them.  Hmmmm.

    I tip. We have had furniture and appliances delivered 5 or 6 times in the past year and we always give at least $10 per person. The only time I did not tip was when we had to call the guys back out to switch a piece out because it was torn.
