Tip the delivery guys?

Nope, not pizza or anything... but I bought a Sofa about 10 days ago, and it is supposed to be delivered today. They called yesterday to tell me they'll come in between 10am and 2pm. I just realized I have no cash in my wallet, so I guess I cannot tip them. I mean I already paid $65 for the delivery service but what the hell do I do? Maybe just offer them a beer afterwards? I only have Guinness, they prolly won't even like it.
 
I'd say it depends on how much work they have to do. In my cousin's place they had to fit them in a small elevator and go down narrow hallways. That's tip worthy. In my place, all they would have to do is go down a short walkway and drop it in a door. Not so tip worthy. In my parent's place, they'd have french doors that make it easier than unloading from the truck. Not tip worthy.
 
Well, they'll have to take it up 2 floors but the elevators in my building are huge, you can fit 2 sofas in them easy.
 
I don't think they expect it.

Last time I had furniture delivered I gave them 10 bux and they appreciated it. But they spent time getting a huge sofa up some difficult steps and assembled the coffe tables.

Well if it required assembly, I'd tip them but I don't think the sofa needs assembly, it comes in two pieces: the sofa itself and the cushions. And I already paid $65 for them to deliver it to my house from their warehouse which is less than 10 miles away so I think I am just gonna offer beers.

C'mon, throw in a buck.

MR. WHITE
Uh-uh. I don't tip.

NICE GUY EDDIE
Whaddaya mean you don't tip?

MR. WHITE
I don't believe in it.

NICE GUY EDDIE
You don't believe in tipping?

MR. PINK
(laughing)
I love this kid, he's a madman,
this guy.

MR. BLONDE
Do you have any idea what these
ladies make? They make ******.

MR. WHITE
Don't give me that. She don't
make enough money, she can quit.

Everybody laughs.

NICE GUY EDDIE
I don't even know a Jew who'd have
the balls to say that. So let's
get this straight. You never ever
tip?

MR. WHITE
I don't tip because society says I
gotta. I tip when somebody
deserves a tip. When somebody
really puts forth an effort, they
deserve a little something extra.
But this tipping automatically,
that ******'s for the birds. As far
as I'm concerned, they're just
doin their job.

MR. BLUE
Our girl was nice.

MR. WHITE
Our girl was okay. She didn't do
anything special.

MR. BLONDE
What's something special, take ya
in the kitchen and suck your dick?

They all laugh.

NICE GUY EDDIE
I'd go over twelve percent for
that.

MR. WHITE
Look, I ordered coffee. Now we've
been here a long ****** time, and
she's only filled my cup three
times. When I order coffee, I
want it filled six times.

MR. BLONDE
What if she's too busy?

MR. WHITE
The words "too busy" shouldn't be
in a waitress's vocabulary.

NICE GUY EDDIE
Excuse me, Mr. White, but the last
thing you need is another cup of
coffee.

They all laugh.

MR. WHITE
These ladies aren't starvin to
death. They make minimum wage.
When I worked for minimum wage, I
wasn't lucky enough to have a job
that society deemed tipworthy.

NICE GUY EDDIE
Ahh, now we're getting down to it.
It's not just that he's a cheap
bastard--

MR. ORANGE
--It is that too--

NICE GUY EDDIE
--It is that too. But it's also
he couldn't get a waiter job. You
talk like a pissed off dishwasher:
"****** those cunts and their
****** tips."

MR. BLONDE
So you don't care that they're
counting on your tip to live?

Mr. White rubs two of his fingers together.

MR. WHITE
Do you know what this is? It's
the world's smallest violin,
playing just for the waitresses.

MR. BLONDE
You don't have any idea what
you're talking about. These
people bust their ass. This
is a hard job.

MR. WHITE
So's working at McDonald's, but
you don't feel the need to tip
them. They're servin ya food, you
should tip em. But no, society
says tip these guys over here, but
not those guys over there. That's
bullshit.

MR. ORANGE
They work harder than the kids at
McDonald's.

MR. WHITE
Oh yeah, I don't see them cleaning
fryers.

MR. BROWN
These people are taxed on the tips
they make. When you stiff 'em,
you cost them money.

MR. BLONDE
Waitressing is the number one
occupation for female non-college
graduates in this country. It's
the one jab basically any woman
can get, and make a living on.
The reason is because of tips.

MR. WHITE
****** all that.

They all laugh.

MR. WHITE
Hey, I'm very sorry that the
government taxes their tips.
That's ****** up. But that ain't
my fault. it would appear that
waitresses are just one of the
many groups the government ******
in the ass on a regular basis.
You show me a paper says the
government shouldn't do that, I'll
sign it. Put it to a vote, I'll
vote for it. But what I won't do
is play ball. And this non-
college bullshit you're telling
me, I got two words for that:
"Learn to ****** type." Cause if
you're expecting me to help out
with the rent, you're in for a big
****** surprise.

MR. ORANGE
He's convinced me. Give me my
dollar back.

Everybody laughs. Joe's comes back to the table.

JOE
Okay ramblers, let's get to
rambling. Wait a minute, who
didn't throw in?

MR. ORANGE
Mr. White.

JOE
(to Mr. Orange)
Mr. White?
(to Mr. White)
Why?

MR. ORANGE
He don't tip.

JOE
(to Mr. Orange)
He don't tip?
(to Mr. White)
You don't tip? Why?

MR. ORANGE
He don't believe in it.

JOE
(to Mr. Orange)
He don't believe in it?
(to Mr. White)
You don't believe in it?

MR. ORANGE
Nope.

JOE
(to Mr. Orange)
Shut up!
(to Mr. White)
Cough up the buck, ya cheap
bastard, I paid for your goddamn
breakfast.

MR. WHITE
Because you paid for the
breakfast, I'm gonna tip.
Normally I wouldn't.

Last time I did that they drank all my beer and ralphed on my new sofa!!! Never again!
 
They told me they'd get here between 10am and 2pm. Its 1:20pm. If they don't get here before 2pm, they won't even get a beer. I had to take off from work today for this.

I always make the people have the delivery people call me when they are on their way. That way I can go to work and then jsut head home when they are on their way and be there for them. If a place refuses to do that then I tell them I'll just go buy my furniture somewhere else.

The problem is, the delivery company is a completely different company (i think), but yeah, I should've done that. It sucks here waiting for it.
 
I'm going to be going through this as well in the coming weeks when I get my new house...

I agree, I hate when they say "We'll be there between 8:00am and 6:00pm"

Great... thanks........... fvckers.
 
Well, they got here at 1:59pm :Q

Anyways, they were two Mexican dudes, so I offered them a Corona each but they preferred water, so I gave them 2 Dasanis...

Happy Ending for me, now I have a couch!
