To tip or not to tip?

Sebastian Dangerfield

We had an oil delivery today, the driver mentioned he's delivered to our house a few times before.

He filled the oil tank, gave me the receipt, then it got a bit awkward before I said goodbye and went inside. I found out after that the wife usually tips a fiver or tenner, so he was probably expecting the same from me -hence the awkwardness. Do people on here tip delivery drivers outside of food - e.g. Harvey Norman, Currys?

Personally I tip restaurant staff, food deliveries, taxi drivers and at the barbers. Found out today the wife tips just about every service provider who calls to the door. Whats the accepted etiquette for say a furniture delivery, or someone servicing the boiler?

I had no idea we had so much disposable income to be giving away!

I tip anyone who does a service for me.Just to let them know I appreciate them.

I find a good hand shake and a sincere thank you is better than a tip for most people

We get robbed here anyway.

Waitors and Waitresses earn minimum so they are not that hard up anyway. I paid for a meal in restaurant in Dublin last week and the waitress presented me the cardreader with the screen to insert my tip open on it before, I added €2 and then paid it with my meal. I thought it was very cheeky effectively asking for a tip.

You sure the delivery man wasnt tipped because he gave your wife a happy ending after the oil delivery...?

Tipping is something I only do in America and then I do it sparingly.

I tip for food delivery only. Not worried about my oil being spat in!

She cant be tipping everyone who calls to the door!

At Christmas I might tip an oil man but never just during the year

Perhaps a tip/price of a pint if it was pissing down heavy rain at the time, otherwise no, it wouldn't be expected.

I've never heard of tipping the oil delivery man.
