I tipped two dudes who moved a piano for me.  It looked heavy as eff!  That was the only time I've ever done that.

Are they taking it up or down any stairs or just dropping off on main floor?  Are they installing it too?

what is their relation to the person that sold you the appliance?

Yeah you're probably looking at $20 tip plus offering a cold brew but you probably already knew to offer that. (the brew)

$20 is my standard tip for delivery, unless it was a difficult move and install.

No. Tipping is an insult to delivery people. It's like you're telling them that you think you are better than them.

With no underwear on, and then, when they lay on their back to work on the plumbing, you can straddle them. They will get the idea.

I didn't but also because they were terrible and just left everything in my living room without taking the boxes or checking for damage like they were supposed to. Had they been better I prob would have

Did not tip. After posting I remembered that I delivered appliances for a summer once and never got tipped. I don't really think you're supposed to unless they do something super extra as a favor.

you didn't remember right away that you had had the exact job in question for an entire summer before you posted?
