I do. My mobile service guy is the same person who has been to my house twice. Trust me I get better service (more things taken card off) when he came back. He’s been great. All issues fixed.
I tipped the guy who installed my garage door and opener. I tipped the guy that installed the outlet for my charger.
What?Man I had both of those done recently and didn’t even consider tipping. Can't companies just pay employees a decent wage so they don’t have to supplement with tips?
What?
If someone is great at their service job, I’d say a tip is in order. I don’t care if they make more then me.
how did you turn this into a wage argument?

Mobile service just finished working on my car. There was an awkward silence after he told me he was all done, and just standing there.
Are we supposed to/expected to tip mobile service guys?
TBH I don’t know my position either.... hardworking employee that somehow makes my experience or life better, I’d tip?I don't get your position at all. Do you tip your CPA, lawyer, financial advisor, doctor? Tips are for people who don't have their full wage built in. Repeat business is your tip for "normal" jobs. I'm also not a fan of tipping, although I'm generous for the jobs I know rely on it.
Dining tip is different than other manual labor where the individual is actually being paid a normal wage.Sure is their job, so is the server that brings me a breakfast every now and then. I tip min 50% of my bill to all diner servers. My mom said it was one of the hardest jobs she had while going to college, and said the tips were horrible.
The folks at Ford, GM and Chrysler do not tip me for doing phenomenal electrical prints in a timely manner for the robots we sell them. WHERE ARE MY TIPS???What?

That is funny. I never ask anyone how they are paid, or how much. Never would say.....Hey do you think you are fairly compensated? I have no idea what the hourly rate/salary is for a Tesla mechanic or the person that picks up my car. Really none of my business. Seems like some find it an issue, and some don't. Or maybe better put. Some don't like the fact I tip because it might make them feel like they have to. One is assuming a tech is expecting something. I have never experienced that feeling, and I try not to assume things as habit. Just a note in the window of the car, and I usually get a text later saying thanks.
Such tough decisions in life.

I agree with other folks; it's fine to tip them, but the tech shouldn't be expecting it. It's expected for restaurant servers here in the United States.
If you live in the US, it should be common sense.

guess that’s the way I’d explain it.
Put another way, I had an entire medical team open my chest and perform coronary arterial bypass surgery - it was the most expensive service I've ever received and I would argue it provided me with the most value in return. What kind of tip would be appropriate for each of them?
I'm not trying to argue with anyone - I'm honestly just questioning where we draw the line. I don't know the answer to this.
The way things should be is the way I want them in my life. Not some prescribed way of doing things that has to be set in stone.
Yea not sure where I mentally draw the line either. Guess just when it feels right.Just curious - how would you benchmark the experience to amount of tip? I tip the pizza delivery guy a few bucks, restaurant server gets 20% for decent service, the three guys who delivered and set up my Peloton treadmill got $20 each. Those all seem pretty easy to gauge, but how much to tip something like mobile service? What would it be based on?

Additionally, does it matter if the service is something I requested? For example, I buy a lemon of a vehicle and I have to keep getting service for it - the service guy does a good job sure, deserves a tip, but the damned thing keeps needing work that I shouldn't expect to be responsible for (warranty) - does that change the dynamics of this interaction?
