The importance of tipping is more critical as it pertains to lower wage service jobs in which the employee depends on $ tips to make a decent wage. A pool table mechanic working for himself who is making +\- $100 / hour for his work, probably doesn’t qualify, but for an employee working for a pool table company who is getting paid $15-$20 / hour, it might be more appropriate. Believe me I realize there are $ costs to being in business, but unless this fitter’s travel time was in excess of 1 hour each way and/or he was there for considerably more then 3 hours, you can do the math.I tip but I agree, have long thought tipping is out of hand. Also, the tip rate has continued to rise, what was wrong with 10%? 10, 15, 20, 25, where does it stop?

I’m not sure where you were going with all this, I just make sure people who work in service industry’s know I appreciated their work. And always over tip breakfast servers. They work just as hard if not harder as the guy who gets a fifty dollar tip just for opening a bottle of wine. But to each his own.Think it is how you feel about service you got, it is not my place to tell you what to do, I can share my thoughts on Tipping. Then we are all on own to make choice.
Should you Tip the ER Doctor for doing their job? How about the Housekeeper in Hospital who job it is to clean your room. How about people just working, for agree upon wadg?
Howe about carrying fresh Donut daily if you get ticket, you can offer Cops Donut for4 doing job catch speeders. Actually friend is Firefighter, people bring cooks, etc. By the firehouse, they alway say thank you. Then everything goes into Trash because of world we live in, people do not love first responders any more. Know Cops who alway brown bag it, they too are in fear if someone would want to hurt them say with broken glass in a Hamburger, wonderful world.
What "areas" of the table are not level? Also what kind of table is it please.Paid a mechanic $500 to install my table a few months ago (no move, just install/level). He said he does a one-year guarantee on the level. A few months later there are some areas where the table is definitely not level. Probably floor settling a bit.
We are scheduling time for him to come back and take a look/level it.
Do I tip him when he comes back? Is this just part of what I paid for originally so no need to tip/pay again? Just trying to get a sense of what is considered the standard thing to do in this situation. It is my first table and first time getting it re-leveled so I have no idea what is normal.
Thanks
Wait till he gets there and levels the table first, and then if you feel he went beyond the call of duty, feel free to tip...Personally.... I would make the decision during game time. .
The side down the long rail. GC1.What "areas" of the table are not level? Also what kind of table is it please.
Not a fan of Chuckie Darwin eh, wot.If you appreciate the effort you show it. Always. We’re not animals.
The fact that you asked this question means the answer is yes....Otherwise why ask??? Your getting two different answers..Some say yes and some say no...So go with your first feeling which I think was yes in your mind...Only you and your conscience can decide, no one can do it for you...Paid a mechanic $500 to install my table a few months ago (no move, just install/level).
