Any freight shipping I have ever priced has several prices. The cheapest is
to a business with a loading dock and a means to unload such as a towmotor.
The most expensive is to a home that requires a liftgate delivery. This is
what most home delivery freight delivery's consist of. You pay a premium
price for this and to me requires no tip. I picked up a floor model drill
press once at the freight terminal and they charged me for the phone call to
come get it and for the part of a day that it sat at their dock. I loaded it
myself into my truck with no help.

I give 20% to wait staff because I know they make a couple of bucks an
hour and depend on it. Not to mention the time setting up or clean up
making no tips. If outback gave me lousy food I might resort to 15%.
but that is wrong because it proably was the kitchen fault and not the
wait staff. The driver on the other hand is making a decent living and
not dependent on tips. The house delivery is charged extra. Even UPS
charges more for home delivery.Of course some one going the extra mile
in service would get a tip. My only confusion is tip at a buffet. I
think 10% because they can cover at least twice as many people.
