Protocol for tipping taxidermist
jrebel:
I struggle with this exact question. My taxidermist is always talking about tips which is uncomfortable at best. I have rounded the price up 25-50 bucks to a nice round number on occasion but I just can’t bite off on a tip. He is on the upper end of prices as it is (his work is worth it). I love the guys work and he is a good dude…..I just can’t see tipping for this type of service. He often talks about how guides get huge tips but taxidermist don’t. I understand what he is saying but don’t necessarily see this as apples to apples.
:dunno: :dunno:

Y'all need to start tipping your pilots too when you fly. :tup: You tip delivery drivers, Uber drivers, taxi drivers, hotel van drivers...
Tipping is getting out of hand. Even automated machines are asking for a tip.

I agree the tipping is getting ridiculous. I had a pest control company out this week for routine spaying, kid was at my place maybe 20 minutes and as soon as he left I get an email asking me to tip him. He never even said goodbye when he left but I got an email asking me to tip him. $10, $20, $30 or other…

Was that an email directly from the kid who did the work, or an email from the company he worked for? Both are ridiculous, but if it came from the company itself I'd like to know the outfit. That is extra terrible.

That is a whole 'nuther level of bizzarre. He thinks he's related to the guiding business, the one-on-one services they provide, and their tipping expectations... how exactly? I commend you on continuing the business relationship with him in a way you can stomach. I don't think he realizes how off-putting his entitled attitude is. :dunno:
