Checking the Setup

I didn't mean to tell them what to do though my post does sound that way. I don't think asking as part of a friendly conversation is a big deal you will end up being more or less confident in the setup you'll get. But really what does it matter if they're your only option. Your best test for the work that will be done is just playing on the thing because i believe someone once said it doesn't matter how you get there as long as you get there. And hopefully that happens first try.

if you got that call, would your first reaction be "Wow, this guy knows his stuff, I better do a good job this time" or "Wow, this guy is going to be a pain in the ass" ...

If I had to give odds it would be 1:5 for the latter. :grin:

So, back to tipping. I like to tip for a job well done and a congenial person doing the work. I have no problem with providing some beverage and snacks to the crew either. What is considered a fair tip for a good job? Basing it on a percentage would see a bit much considering the shipping etc.

If you choose to tip base it on the quality of the (setup) service experience, not the cost of the table. Estimating one of these guys may make $20 an hour and figure about 3 hrs for the setup - if they do outstanding work and have a good attitude then a $20-$25 tip per working man is a nice gesture IMO.
