So I broke down yesterday and bought a brand new bedroom set. Headboard, dresser with mirror, night-stand, mattress and box spring. Let's face it, my old bed was the cheapest queen size I could get at the BX at the time, and that was over 10 years ago. It was over-due.
My question is, should I tip the delivery guys? They come tomorrow to bring in everything, and the set it all up, and they are taking away my old bed for disposal (incineration at the nearest toxic waste facility). I would guess that you do, assuming they do a good job and don't knock any holes in the walls. But how much?

Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Damn, I surely walked right into that one.

FTFY.
What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
I would tip them, depending on how well and polite they are. Would also offer a cold drink or... maybe a crack rock. Then dance around your den almost naked, with your tighty whiteys jacked up like a thong, bugged eyed and ranting about a over cooked pie. All done as they pass the pipe while taking a breather on your couch. While blarring out old show tunes with your stereo, and tossing sugar in the air.
I can see them now, "You should get that mole checked out."

Now let's see if he turns out to be Jake Lloyd or Alec Guiness.

Generally, these types of delivery guys are driving company trucks so they don't have to worry about paying for their own gas. But because they do quite a bit of effort setting up everything. When I had my furniture delivered a few years ago, the delivery guys (2 of them) got $10 each from me, and a bag of freshly-baked cookies.

Or this. Yeah, this is better.
Well, I might give them 10 bucks, but their on their own if they want baked goods.

If it's just a couple collars coming in and switching beds then a ten or twenty spot and a cuppa Joe should be more than sufficient.
PAH, that'd be like the Master tipping his Slaves. fúck em'. They're not delivering pizza. They make more than minimum wage.
Meh. I gave them 10 bucks each, they were in and out in 25 minutes and did a good job.
My new bed is so awesome, it takes all my willpower not to take a nap.
Must...wait...for bedtime...
Arrrgh!
