Protocol for tipping taxidermist

(1/7) > >>

builtfordtough:
Just curious what you all think about tipping taxerdimist. Do you, do you not?  Let's hear it! I know where I stand but interested to see what others have to say.

Pathfinder101:
Taxidermist is generally the owner of the business itself.  I don't see tipping as appropriate.   :twocents:

Skillet:
100% against this, unless the customer placed heavy demands for turnaround on the taxi, and the taxi met those expectations.  Or some similar extraordinary effort above and beyond a normal taxidermy transaction. 

Tipping culture is completely out of control, IMHO.  Offer your services for a price, accept payment of that price, and don't expect a customer to make up for your lack of willingness to pay a reasonable wage to your employees on your behalf.  We're stuck with food service tipping, but I resist it at every other opportunity.  If anything other than a sit-down restaurant expects me to tip as a form of payment, they'll never see me again.

That said, I do tip often, and generously, when the service is warranted.
 :twocents:, and off my soapbox now.
