Most service workers (waiters, hairstylists, kind of thing) are paid lower wages based on them receiving tips. I do think things are getting carried away when I go to the local store and the cashiers have out tip cups. I don't tip them.

This misses the point entirely. They are paid what they are paid because there is tipping, take tipping away and they'd need to be paid more to find the labour. It's just a hassle, the entire concept is asinine.

I'm not a huge fan of tipping either to be honest. Having said that if everyone was paid what the self entitled millennials call "a living wage", the price of everything would be much higher and I am not sure we'd all be happy about that either. I don't have an answer for this frankly, when I think of someone working in McDonalds etc for minimum wage that seems fair, when I see how physically hard my movers worked minimum wage seems low. I think hard work should be rewarded fairly and some minimum wages are fairly paid.

Aside from restaurants, there are other places where people make a fair wage and still get tips for a job well done by some customers. In this setting you can just choose to not tip.

Yes, but most tips aren't reported. Well except when they write the tip and amount on the check/bill. But otherwise cash tips handed straight over aren't getting reported, which is also why servers/people who make tips don't mind getting paid less and earning tips, as it's less taxable income for them.

$50 each sounds very generous to me. Certainly nothing wrong with that.

Absolutely! That's my tip for everyone. If you stand up in a canoe, it is likely to tip over.....

My suggestion is make sure you have someone supervising the packing of the truck!!! We just moved to Florida and the movers we paid to pack the front half of our container actually manage to destroy or damage like 80-90% of our shit which I am sooooo beyond pissed about! The second half of the container my dad and I packed everything was perfect. No boxes out of place, nothing damaged. The "professionals" were lazy, careless and just flat out incompetent in how the packed the trailer. So my suggestion to you is make sure you have a person to supervise the loading of the container (truck) and voice anything that doesn't look right from the get go. Make them repack if need be. My load was on such a truncated timetable that I didn't do that, plus it was reputable movers we had used before and did not have an issue with. I would hate for you to go through what I am going through right now.

Anyone tip roofers (workers, not owner)? If so, how much? 4 guys are working their asses off in extreme heat for over a week (there were some other guys on a few days, but four guys every day). I feel like they deserve something, but I sure as hell am not paying a percent of the roof cost. I gave the 4 main guys $50 / each at the end of last week. Thinking of another $100 / each when the roof is done. Too much? Not enough?

OK thanks. Maybe another $50 / each on top of the $50 last week then.
