Really? I get the feeling you knew exactly what you were doing. Evident by your need to resort to name calling when others have a different opinion than yours. Have a nice day!Reading some of the off topic replies to my question, I had to go back and read what I posted. I was simply asking if you tip your service technicians...
My post obviously struck a nerve with the curmudgeons...
Interesting. So looking at it from the Service Owners perspective, the tech got his hourly wage for the work he did for the Service owner and a tip from you for that free work performed, but the service owner got nothing for that free work. That reminds me of another story. Years ago, I had a layover in front of a fast food restaurant. I went in and ordered a cheese burger. The woman behind the counter was very nice to me. I went back to my vehicle and when I looked into the bag, there were two burgers. I was one of those folks that should not eat two burgers but I did. A few days later I ate at the same place and again the same nice woman took my order and again I ended up with two burgers. The next day, the woman that served me the extra burgers, became my customer and she was $1 short of the required fare. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a one dollar bill and inserted it into the fare box. I let her know in the future she needed her full fair no mater how full I was from the burgers. The organization I worked for did not allow us to take tips but many operators did. I wonder how many free rides there customers were given. It is only those folks that are doing most of the rowing that rock the boat. Why rock the boat if you are getting a free ride? You may very well want to call the guy who is rocking the boat a few names.I do at service center as I appreciate the tech’s willingness to answer all my questions. I will say I have benefited as he has done minor fixes without me seeing it on the final bill
. I was told one dude, centuries ago, got nailed to the mast for rocking the boat.
