    My wages are good enough. That doesn't matter. I am delivering heavy freight to peoples' homes on a 4 foot long lift gate. Most of these homes are on a hill. I am not using a freaking forklift.

    If people choose to tip you, that's fine. But to expect a tip for merely doing your job when you're already fairly compensated is ridiculous.
    Maybe another line of work would suit you better.

    Ok reo3205. Pulling heavy freight off a liftgate on a hill to someones home does not deserve a tip? Really?

    but the o/p is making it sound like He must be TIPPED......

    SCREW THAT NONSENSE. HE GETS A PAYCHECK. IN FACT, AT ONE LTL carrier i worked for, anyone taking the liftgate got paid extra. and he wants more..???

    that's different..you as an OWNER show YOUR appreciation to your workers...customers do not and are not REQUIRED to tip a delivery driver, especially one that gets paid MORE THAN minimum wage.

    I think all of you need to rethink what it takes to deliver heavy freight on a liftgate. It is difficult. I am working alone unless the customer is willing to help.

    that tip you gave the glass installer, WAS ON YOU.......he didn;t ask for it, here in sharp contrast, you are DEMANDING a tip.....which frankly, you are not entitled to.
