If he just does the standard install I wouldn't bother ... just tip him if he goes above & beyond whats to exist expected.

• #8

I'd offering him a drink, at most, unless he has to practice some hardcore wiring (installing wires through the wall, for example).

• #ix

I wouldn't, they are doing their job- not providing y'all with something other than what they go paid to practise.

• #10

They're paid based on the assumption that they dont get tips, and so no, i dont tip them

• #12

Steven: I have this friend and he gave his cable guy $50 and then he got all the motion-picture show channels for free. You e'er hear of anything similar that?

• #13

They don't take tips. I told the cable guy he could keep the pen I lent him once, but he said "No, it could be considered a tip".

tip the cablevision guy? lol...

• #15

Why would you tip a person that is already making 15 - 20 per 60 minutes?

• #16

Unless he goes out of his manner to practice something for you, I wouldn't retrieve so. If information technology's a standard installation, he'll be happy enough with his regular pay. If it'due south a service call and he's there for a long fourth dimension, you might want to consider a tip. If he helps you out with your audio system or something similar, something he didn't HAVE to do. Yeah you lot should probably consider a tip.

Dude!
This is ATOT!
Y'all tip no i, anywhere, anytime, for anything!
Peculiarly Waitresses and Pizza Delivery folks.

Personally, I will tip just almost anyone if: they go above & across what is required, they are exceptionally efficient at what they exercise, or if the do an extra skillful job.

<-- was a Southern Manhattan NYC Time Warner Cablevision tech for 5 years

Before 9/11 I used to average ~100/day in tips, after 9/11, less than that in a week. I miss those days. Yes, it's nice to tip a cable guy, only it isn't necessary. I used to detest when I went the actress mile for some people and didn't go a unmarried penny though. Many people will act similar they are gonna tip you lot, and and then stiff you...lol
