What is the etiquette for tipping the carpet cleaner?

For small work (<3 rooms), $20 per person.

Otherwise, 20%

Seriously? We are supposed to tip carpet cleaners now? When does it end? Next it will be the Amazon driver.

I think some people like the feeling that there are people below them, thus they like to tip folks for simply doing what they are paid to do. I'm not one of them.

Lmao no. The only time I will tip any service outside of a restaurant is if they do an above and beyond type job and add more value to the service than expected. It doesn't happen very often.

I don't get tips for doing my job correctly

Edit: I guess I tip my barber too.

I thought maybe it was a euphemism for the wax lady.

He would probably have to make a thread asking how to use them

I don't tip unless I am being waited on. I'm not going to tip for a service I likely already overpaid for.

I know someone who drives for Amazon now, and he posted around Christmas time about how much tips are appreciated. Like…I hardly ever see the driver who throws my stuff on the porch, and when I do it's a different guy every time.

Unexpectedly to-the-point and overall helpful comment.

I had to double-check what forum I was in.

I'm your doctor, and you stiffed me last time. How am I supposed to afford a new boat without at least 30%?

Maybe if you were a urologist.

Bro, I am not sure if you have been properly informed as to the most convenient access to the prostate.

Dwight Schrute: "Why tip someone for a job I'm capable of doing myself? I can deliver food, I can drive a taxi, I can and do cut my own hair. I did, however, tip my urologist. Because I am unable to pulverize my own kidney stones."

The only question that needs to be answered about when to tip, "Did she have nice cans?"

These questions always remind me of the first time I ever hired movers and I realized when they were almost done that I was supposed to tip them and I didn't have any cash on me.

i gave them a handful of free beer tokens from the bar I worked at with a ton of apologies.

I found out the next week that they had come in and used them and said it was probably their favorite tip they'd ever gotten because they didn't have to feel guilty on using it for beer and they had an excuse to tell their wives/girlfriends that they had to go to the bar.

My bartender gave them a few extra beers and they took good care of him too.

I travel a lot for work and this week my hotel room (a Marriott) had a placard next to the bed with a QR code to electronically tip the housekeeper directly via an app called Shiny (I think that was name). It was officially sanctioned through the hotel and branded.
