    I have worked my ass off since i was 15, I worked 40 hours a week as a full time high school student. and since then have worked my ass off to overcome the poverty i grew up with. I now own my house. And have lots of nice stuff. (including a Tacoma) And don't mind SHARING the fruits of my labor, When i can. Like the way people in this cuntry used to do. A LONG time ago... When we used to say hello to our neighbors.

    I'll usually tip especially if they move some extra for me. If i'm getting a new dresser and they move the old one then they'll get a little extra.

    A long time ago a tip was something to be earned and not expected. That's my main gripe nowadays - young people feel like they're entitled just because they're doing what has always been expected of their fathers and grandfather's generation. If you want to SHARE your fruit, go spend some time with a disabled vet or sick child - I personally don't subscribe to any charity cases for kids that are having a hard time making ends meet while making payments on their Tacoma lift kit.

    LOL at how hard ^ that guy is working for stereo types.

    I have a 30 year old cousin who makes her living as a food server. She's good at it and enjoys working in the food industry (she also writes reviews for a local paper in her area). But guess what...Tips are a fair portion of her income....and doesn't have a car or a house that's twice what she needs/can afford.
    It's pretty presumptuous of you to think that every server is a charity case looking for your hand out and to lump "those damn kids" into a group.

    Sure, if the install is reasonably priced, but it seems like $85 just to drop a microwave off at my house (like im having done today) is a ripoff.
