Color me Cheap, but I wouldn't be tipping anybody. It's a job they are
paid to do and last I knew, construction workers were well paid. I'd
probably give them a jar of jam and my deep thanks with appreciation.

I don't tip the people at the local Caribou (coffee house), either.
Shoot me.


I bet you don't tip your doctor after a really good physical either.


You are correct, Sir! I do, however, bring in a batch of brownies for
the staff's enjoyment.

Having worked as and for contractors in the past, I was well paid but never
received or expected a tip.
