OK, so I had four Plasma TV's delivered today. Two 42" and two 50" Boxes are big and bulky, but not overly heavy.
Two guys pulled up in the delivery truck, parked on the side of the road, and wheeled the TV's up the driveway and into the garage with a hand truck, one by one. I offered to move my car out of the driveway so he could back the truck right up to the garage, they declined.
I gave the guy who asked me to sign the delivery receipt a $20 bill and said "There ya go bro, lunch is on me."
I dont know if I am mistaken or not, but I feel like the guy felt it wasn't enough of a tip... His facial response and the way he said "thanks" didnt seem like he was pleased.
I thought a $20 tip is actually way more than necessary for two people who were there no more than 10 minutes. Mind you, I didnt even ask them to bring the TV's into the house or take away a box or anything; all they had to do was drop them in the garage. I was going to give a tenner, but then figuring the retail total was over $10k, I gave the $20 tip instead.
Is $20 an appropriate tip here? Too much? Too little? Thoughts?
PS Before I get flamed for posting a "bragging thread" let me clarify: None of the TV's are mine. I do computer/network work for the store that sells them, and he sells me appliances at cost. All four of these TV's are for friends and family of mine.
