Do you tip tradesmen?

Re: Do you tip tradesmen?

I don't care about the tip, just pay me what i quoted and i'll be on my way. It's the shit crockery, like we're lepers or something.

Who said you were getting shit crockery
You’re just not getting my Ramsey mug. Or my FAW one with the old badge.
Or whatever the Mrs favourite set of 4 is at that given time.
You’re getting one of the previous favourite set of 4, or one from lanzarote or other foreign holidays which, while aren’t anywhere near daily use, are perfectly adequate.
And they’ll have been thoroughly rinsed of dust and spiders

Re: Do you tip tradesmen?

I'm more concerned that you have 'Best Crockery' Do you get it out on sundays while tuning in the wireless that's the size of a young Elephant?

So I’m a valve set enthusiast. F*ck you. You’re getting the jam jars if you ever set foot in my manor matey!

Don’t apologise mate. I can’t blame you wanting to look after your best mugs. I’ve got a Prince Charles Investiture mug that no riff raff’s lips are getting anywhere near.

Re: Do you tip tradesmen?

And I’m the only one who tips. Well that’s not gonna happen anymore. Mrs C is already stocking up the Tesco bags after hearing the truth about tradesmen getting caught short.

My Mrs still tips the postperson at Christmas

Not the dust people though, as they leave shite all over the street

But why the distinction though? I don't get it at all, it comes across as there being different grades of crockery for different grades of people

Re: Do you tip tradesmen?

Not generally, I did have a guy come in and skim some walls, paint and a few bits, he was much cheaper than expected and did a very good job, gave him and the lad an extra £20 each for a drink, in the hope if I need him again he sees it as a good job to come back to.

Sensible and fair, I've done the same if you get a really good one, you want a chance to get the good ones back

Re: Do you tip tradesmen?

As someone who works in the building industry, i find this thread really insulting. Now i know what people really think of us, the untouchables eh....

I wouldn't take it personally, I think people who have said that are more worried about cement and mud and stuff getting on the mugs outdoors.

I'm not, I was half joking. I couldn't care less what type of cup my brew comes in. Most people make a shit cup of tea anyway, and they buy that awful cheap Coffee, or maybe that's for the tradesmen, we're not good enough for Maxwell House... Never mind boys, you just keep ****ing your houses up and we'll come over and put it right for you👍🤣

Delm….I’m making it all up. It’s all BS mate. I don’t even have a valve radio. Though I do find it funny to think there are grades of crockery depending on status. But seriously…I’ve got 2 Cardiff City mugs and a jam jar for cold drinks. I think we have 1 plate. Now I am being truthful. We can’t be arsed with all that stuff. I spend the money on tech for work. Mrs C spends it on shrooms and clothes. We love everybody and treat everyone equally…..except plasterers….we try to avoid them. Shifty.

I had one on a job with the words " Best Dad Ever!" I think that the wife was trying to get at the Husband.
