does anyone know how much you're supposed to tip your movers? what is a good tip? what is a medium one? how is it calculated? is it a percentage of the total cost? or just some fixed amount? do you pay per moving guy who shows up? or do they share one big tip for the company?
we last moved in 1999. the college where mrs. noz teaches paid moving expenses and for the first time in our lives we hired professional movers. they did a great job, but no one ever told mrs. noz and i that we were supposed to tip them until after it was over. we felt like total cheapskates and don't want to make the same mistake this time around. but we have no idea what is reasonable.
our last move was from chicago to philadelphia. this time, it's just a couple of doors down the street. does that make a difference in calculating the tip?
inquiring minds wanna know.
