Two years ago I had someone come from a well known franchise. He did a very good job, but was too expensive. I don’t blame him, he’s just an employee. They got me for about $200. He worked about 2 hours and I gave him $10. Then last year I was really cheap. There was a ad in the weekly shopper for someone to do a whole house for $59-79. While I have a modest 2 br condo, about 400 sq ft of carpet out of 800 sq ft of condo, they got me for $79. I doubt they would do a 1,600 sq ft house for the same $79, so they were somewhat deceptive. They personally were unclean, no haircut or shave and showed up with a rented Rug Dr. machine. They were in my place less than 1 hour the rugs weren’t clean, but they were wet. I didn’t tip at all.
Should it be 15% like at a restaurant. They obviously draw a base salary higher than waiters, so the tips are just pure gravy. The next guy is coming by to estimate tomorrow evening. If we make a deal, I hope they will come this weekend. How much do you tip for a job well done? Do you tip at all? Thanks.
