You’re more likely to leave a tip if a worker receives a pitiful wage, right?
Yes, generally speaking. For instance, the majority of us leave tips at restaurants, when we order groceries online, and when we visit the barber.
Most employees in these positions depend on tips to supplement their meager base pay.
But what about West Elm drivers?
Sadly, we were unable to locate the salary information for West Elm drivers, but we were successful in doing so for Pottery Barn, West Elm’s sister company.
As you can see, their annual salary is only $37,886 per year.
Whilst it’s not minimum wage (or even close), it’s well below the US average which according to PolicyAdvice.net is $57,456 per year.
In light of this, we believe tipping West Elm drivers is a good idea. When deciding whether to tip some of its rivals like Crate and Barrel, Living Spaces, and Rooms to Go, we did indeed come to that conclusion.
Second, how much do you provide as a gratuity for appliance delivery?
Depending on the size and complexity of the delivery, the cost per person to move furniture or appliances ranges from $5 to $20. Consumer Reports advises verifying your statement to make sure nothing has already been added. According to Teleflora, floral designers advise leaving a $2 to $5 tip for each delivery, or up to $10 if the plant is particularly large or heavy.
