Real Quick Tipping ??

I dont tip the Sears repair man who is coming to fix (and when I say fix, clean out the filter) my washing machine do I? I have a service contract (if not I would be out $$$$ because the darn filter keeps clogging but thats a whole nother story)

Re: Real Quick Tipping ??

I didn't and kinda felt bad but he didn't seem like he was waiting for anything.

Re: Real Quick Tipping ??

Nope. You already paid for that service and he's getting paid to do that for you. Unless he does something out of ordinary, then NOPE.

They have been here 5 times in the past 2 years to fix the same thing. I wish they would show me how to fix it cause no washing machine w 3 kids for 10 days is insanity!!

Re: Real Quick Tipping ??

personally, i always tip repairmen- contract or not. It's not like they're getting a % of the $ that you pay out for a service contract--- just their salary. Plus I always feel like if there's a problem in the future and the same person comes back that they'll go the extra mile in the long run (which has happened to me before--- they've exchanged parts and not charged me when I know they should've on jobs w/o service contracts).
I don't think you HAVE to, but I always do anyway- that $ goes to them, not back to their company.
