Pretty self-explanatory...im getting the windows tinted this week, am I supposed to tip the guy that does it?

Ruff_Racer · 07-01-2009, 12:43 PM

how much are you paying for ya tint and how many windows u gettin tinted?

Vypurr · 07-01-2009, 12:45 PM

I never have. If a tint costs $150+, most of that is labor because the materials cannot be THAT much money.

I usually tip when someone is doing a service for me, but relys on tips for an income. OR they go above and boyond their job description to help me out, or make me happy.
