Do you tip your installer?

[Tom_T.]

I didn't tip 4 years ago, but, I did offer to pull the cable thru under the house (crawl space) as well as in the attic (temp up there was about 180 degrees that day) -- which he gladly accepted. Plus I already had all holes predrilled. So I saved the guy from getting dirty and sweaty, plus got him out of here in at least half the time it would have taken if he did it all himself.

That works for me!

And in fact, HAS worked for me in the past.

Most recently, a customer prehung a DirecWay mast - very difficult house, and he was real particular about it. He got what he wanted, I got off easy.
