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. , and off my soapbox now.
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…
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.
