Tipping Movers??
I work for a big federal agency and my job has me moving every few years. I have done this many times and each move has a “pack-out” leg and a “receive” leg with different movers. I am getting geared up for another pack-out and a co-worker was lamenting about how expensive it was to tip out 2 different crews of workers. I was legit shocked. I have never tipped. Should I be?? Is this a thing?? Don’t these workers who are working for big brand name moving companies with government contracts getting paid a fair wage?? She said that she typically tips $30-$50/person working. A crew is usually 7–8 guys. This feels super insane to me. Most moves are 2 days and I usually get them a bunch of cold drinks and if they seem like they are really doing a good job with all my stuff, maybe I will buy them sandwiches or pizza for lunch, but honestly even the food feels like a bit of a stretch.
Any thoughts????
