Anyone have an idea what to tip movers??
From my research, the standard for "real" movers is 10%. For the ultra-cheap ninja movers that juliana got me, I tipped more just because they were so cheap and so fast.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty sure my moving company told me what to tip, and it was 15-20%. But that's NYC. Edit: Maybe it was 10-15%. Whatever it was, it felt like a lot of money! But I was moving into a 4th floor walkup...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
$100 or so, I would say. Depending on the cost of the move.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How snazzy would you look, though, Jesse? Especially with a belt with a cool belt buckle?
Let's dress you from now on.
Note to people: solutioning? Not a word.
Quid pro con? Kinda funny, but doesn't exist.
Sending me an invite to a 7am con call when I have an 8-11 onsite meeting? Kinda MEAN. I haven't decided how to handle this yet. Taking it while driving is contra-indicated, natch. Coming in to the office an hour early? Evol.

When I last moved in 2006, I gave my three movers $20 each, and they were happy with it. The entire cost of the move was about $500, so I wasn't going to give them any more than that!

I'm still traumatized about how much it cost to have long-distance movers. Never again!

I never doubt that all my movers have been worth the time and money.

What's the alternative? I mean, other than not moving long-distance, which, duh. Never not an alternative.

Oh yeah, I assume my next long-distance move is far enough in my future that I don't have to think about it. If ever.

It was less than 2 years ago and I don't recall what I tipped my movers. I know they were VERY appreciative of the flat of water I had for them.
