The common "should I tip?" question...

Had a dumpster delivered. Guy pulled up, dropped it in my driveway, took my money, left. 5 minutes MAX he was here.

Should I have tipped?

Right....but they are using their own vehicles. <ETA--yikes, I wasn't trying to be rude...sorry if it came out that way.>


I wouldn't tip for a dumpster delivery.

i thought they got a tip because they are performing a service not because they are using a personal vehicle... and my chinese food guy uses a bike most of the time

Nope, I wouldn't tip. I think those guys get paid a lot more than the pizza or chinese food delivery guy. It's not like you can go pick up your own dumpster!

thats true... but the way the OP worded the post seemed like they were basing the tip on how long it took...

Thanks everyone! I guess I was just trying to say he didn't have to go out of his way or anything.

That is a good way to look at it - I can't pick up my own dumpster!

I feel better now, thanks again!
