How much do you tip and Christmas trees

If you buy a six foot $90 tree and a guy takes it to your car and ties it down, what do tip?

You don't tip, unless you asked for help, then you give him a $20.

If he did it w/out you asking, then it seems like you paid $90 for the tree and his generous service.

Unless your elderly, that it's usually customary to help. Depends how pleasant you were to the establishment.

That seems unnecessarily generous Figure five trees an hour, that's a $100 an hour. Also, I would not help unless asked. "Helping" infers that the person is incapable in some fashion. Also, there is the liability. If I help and I get injured I could the tree farm lot. Do it myself or let their employees, there is no risk.

Why would you pay $90 for a dead tree in the first place?

The smell of a "live" tree is the smell of Christmas.

The smell of a "live" tree is the smell of Christmas.

But its not "live." A scented candle would do the same with far less waste. Better yet, buy a real live tree that can be replanted and help us all enjoy more than a few weeks of your imaginary joy.

Don't be such a humbug. The tree gets recycled, the city uses green waster for mulch.

$10

I guess I just assumed that the cost of the tree itself covered any needed help with loading. That being said, for a $90 tree I’d probably tip $10 if I knew that a tip was warranted.

I load my own Christmas tree, and do a damned better job of it than the people at the tree farm.
