we're havng a fence built at our house. It has taken about 4-5 days and they're about to finish up. 2 guy crew. Should we tip them???
- madirish0
yes.
if they drink light beer, get them a tall boy of Bud regular.
if they drink regular, a hooker and an 8 ball.

no. when they are finished offer them a beer or two while you admire the fence.
i used to build fences and pole barns over the summer and a 20 buck tip was nice, but a cold beer after working in the hot sun was ace.

kona - they're 2 mexican gentlemen. i have no idea if they drink beer. so a $20 each?

How 'bout you invite them in, and the three of you take a long shower. After that, pay them with little tricks...

i love a smart ass answer as much as the rest of ya but these guys are about 1/2 hour from being done.
what's the right thing to do?
- k0na_an0k0
try this first.
an hour or so before they finish up call out to them holding two cold beers in hand. if they nod you're good. if they wave you off then a 20 spot is cool.

thanks gang.

dude, think of it this way. How long would that project take you to finish? How hot is it out there? Did I pay as much as any other fence company would've charged me?
A cold beer would be great, everybody drinks beer, but a nice tip would be better. If you saved some money, tip them well, it all comes back to you my friend...Or you can still do the shower scene...
- CALLES0
dude... they will be happy to drink a beer... im not kidding... offer it to them and if they dont take it cool... and hook them up with 20$... now dont be surprise if you wake up tomorrow and you have 25 of does fuckers squatting in your backyard... babies and everything

(Jul 5 07, 13:12)cool =) but you should have listened to madirish hookers and 8ball
- k0na_an0k0
yeah dude... the beer is a crap shoot. sometimes you gotta go back to the office and drop the trucks off and shit.. you don't want your boss to smell the beer on ya.
you're a good man gruntt!
- OSFA0
y'know what? sersly... I would tip them better now because they are true professionals and responsible enough not to drink before driving putting other people at risk...
now about the shower, is your camera charged?
