[QUOTE="Small Lady, post: 2943284, member: 126670"] If they say at the time while you're booking it, that the real cost is $12000, not $10,000, because you also have to pay an extra $2000 cash to someone, then fine. But if you are done the trip, and some man/woman suddenly says ' don't forget to tip me ' then no way. Yesterday I dropped off my boss's wife's suv to get ceramic coated, and today I went to pick it up. I have a company Visa card to put expenses on, and when i was paying it asked me how much I would like to tip. I stopped and looked at the woman who was working the front desk and said ' really it asks for a tip, that's outrageous, I am the customer, if anything it is me who should be getting a gift of some sort for bringing in my business '. The woman replied ' I feel it's bull crap to, but the owner put it on there '. I told her that no way would I be tipping, hit 0 tip, and finished up and left. Next time I'm asked to book something in for ceramic coating, it won't be at that shop guaranteed. The price is the price, we are done. If they're under charging, then raise prices. I got home, and jumped on the tractor, loaded 3 semi trucks with hay, and put a bale in a pickup for another customer. I was NOT looking for any tips, it is my job. Imagine if I said something to my customers like, well I sure did a good job loading you, and did no damage to your trucks, so tip me, and held my hand out. Years ago a guy tried to tip me for repairing his bicycle, it was a side job that I did when I was working at the hospital as an RN. I refused to take the tip from him, and told him no, I have billed you already for the parts and labor, you paid it, we have concluded our business. If I was too stupid at billing, to have charged him enough, or any customers enough, that is my fault, and only my fault. I billed these people for the hay I loaded up today, and it's a lot harder to properly load a semi with hay, than it is to do many other tasks, but even if offered a tip, my answer would be no thank you.
