      Heck no - the tip is in the inflated cost they are passing onto me!

      But as a courtesy I’ll do a coffee run or bacon sandwich run for them

        I give delivery operatives a can of Coke, if they want it and I've had a 100% take up so far!!

          I hope this is common practice. For us it's the ones at the back of the cupboards (rinsed first of course).
          Haha! The old back of the cupboard switcharoo!

              They just don't look after them well enough. I found one in the garage yesterday

                When you say delivery operatives, I'm guessing you mean for particularly big deliveries?
                Would cost a fortune otherwise

                  I have never heard of anyone doing this and wouldn't even cross my mind to do it sorry

                    Impossible to do, as there is no such thing as a tradesperson these days !

                    Two week course and you’re deemed qualified

                        Tesco carrier bag, in back of the van. Gorilla bucket if you're flash.

                          This is exactly the reason you never let them use the best crockery!

                            I've got no issue with this, I just don't trust them not to smash or chip my favourite mugs

                                Well for anyone who is facing the same dilemma.

                                I didn't tip today and it went fine.
