alright, so even at $10/hr
$10x2080 hours in a year
$20,800-30% (taxes, probably steep though)
$14,560+ ($750/weekx50 weeks)
$37500+14560
$52,060 after taxes
Still pretty freakin' sweet for a meat-head job.

It's also back-breaking hard work and in some cases (pro movers) it takes a certain bit of know-how to bring in a huge odd-sized piece of furniture through a tight doorway while pivoting it up and around a banister, etc.
I still wouldnt tip much though

Back in december I had my lcd tv delivered. The delivery guy called me asked for directions to my house. Then when he arrived, it was some really really old guy. So I moved the tv myself from the truck to my house. Ya, he got no tip from me...

I got all my furniture delivered to me, the guys took forever to get here, and took their sweet time moving stuff in, even though they had known I was in a hurry.
(I had an appointment at 2, they were supposed to be at the house at 11. They got there at 1:30)
anyway, I had a 3 piece sectional, an armoire, bed, chest of drawers, and a bigass mirror. Even though I was annoyed at them, it was still alot of work moving it into my upstairs apartment, so i gave em 20 bucks, probably more than I should have though.

Why are you considering tipping the furniture delivery guys? Give them a Coke/Pepsi and call it a day.
The couple hundred to deliver it wasn't enough?
If you ever need milk or anything give me a call. I will gladly go to the store and deliver it to your house for $20.

OK the worst tipping experience is when I go to the club.
So, I just paid $20 to get in, and the girl at the register says "Would you like to tip?"
BITCH, wtf did you just do to deserve a tip? Take $20 from me? You better love me long time, ho.

Bought a round of beers at a bar once and it came out to $30. Bar tender handed me back a $10. Did he seriously expect a $10 tip? I mean if you gave me two fives MAYBE if you were hot as hell and funny to boot.
