I have a ?? for the board... My girlfriend is getting her counters and floor tiled in Pcola.... The contractor keeps dropping hints about tipping....example... He said " My last client was so happy about my job peformance that he tipped me 30%... and I normally only get 15-20%" This struck me as unprofessional... I didn't say anything to him because I am not paying him... But my gf says he has dropped the tip word in 6-7 converstations... Here's my question... Do you tip general contractors ??? In my opinion it's No.... he is already making at least 30+ dollars an hour.. But I really don't know the etiquette when it comes to this type of work... any help would be appreciated.... He is doing a good job, but the work is 3 days later then promised, and there is dust everywhere inside from him doing the bullnosing inside... Am I wrong in thinking it rude for anyone to drop multiple tip hints ?? Also do you tip for major housework such as tiling ?? Thanks !!
