Quick! How much to tip painters?

Give them both a blow job.

tell them about brooklynian, they'll be thankful for you showing them such a treasure trove of information.... they're losers, right?

Seriously, no tipping.

You needed painting - they said they'd paint X for $$$ - you pay $$$ - they paint X - everyone goes home happy.

No need for tips.

You wouldn't tip a plumber, would you?

No tip.

I am on the same page here and that is how I decide a tip is appropriate for a painter, plumber or electrician.

this.

more or less.

i didn't tip the guys that delivered my stove, fridge, and dishwasher but only because there was a surprise charge to bring the stuff upstairs when they arrived.
which suspiciously could only be paid in cash.

bwahahahahaha


3 days for 3 rooms, a bathroom and hallway? 7 hours a day?
You need to give me the square footage because that is a stupid long time.

My whole apartment was done in 1 day. Amazing job.
living room
bedroom
kitchen
dining room
foyer

The walls kinda suck in the apt, so making straight lines for corners is tough. They free handed it! I was amazed lol

It was just 2 guys and pretty hot that day. I bought them a pie of pizza and kept the AC on. Then I think i gave them both $20 each on top of that. But they did it all in one day.

Oh, and these were the workers, NOT the owner.

Owners dont get tips.
