I'm having a pro-am delivered and installed and was wondering if it's proper to tip the installation guys. From what I understand, it comes from the factory completely assembled except for the legs, so all they really have to do is install the legs and level it? Unless I'm missing something? Anyway, a tip doesn't seem appropriate in this case, but I just didn't want to be the ahole. Thoughts?
Diamond Pool Table Installation -- Tip?

That would be totally up to you.. If you want to tip the installers go ahead and tip them. If you dont then dont tip them. All I can tell you is as a table mechanic and a custom cue builder. If someone tips me it is very much appreciated. And even if they dont tip. They still get the best service that I can provide.!! To me its like going to a buffet. Do I tip. Of course I do. I dont tip the same amount that I would at a full service place. How ever I do tip accordingly to anyone that takes care of me.
I would say 50% of people tip. I would base it on service. Did they take extra care not to scratch you floors? Did do a good job leveling your table? There's probably l little bit more involved than what your imagining.
I tipped my GC4 installers 100. I felt they did an excellent job and were there several hours. I also had some table modifications I made (height increasing devices) that they added during the installation.
I doubt I would have tipped the same amount for a table that took considerably less time, but I would have still tipped the installer.
I can also say I cut lawns for 10 yrs and also did cue repair for 5 or 6 yrs. I rarely got a tip from my customers, but when I did, it really made my day. Even if it was just a few bucks.

Its not the quantity of money that matters but the notion that the customer appreciates what you do for them, especially when you go beyond what is expected.
