Fran Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Do boaters tip RCR engineers after a call out? If so how much would be considered a reasonable amount? I have done so in the past but forgot to when recently they replaced a starter motor for me. I have been feeling a bit guilty since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Depends on the service you get. If it's above and beyond £20 wouldn't go amiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy D'arth Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 I don't use Stephanie's manglers but the tip I would give them is to work for someone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonka Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Don't tie your shoelace in a revolving door way That is a good tip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichM Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 No, I don't agree with tipping. - There's a lot of people who work equally as hard who do not or cannot receive tips. Whether it be someone on a supermarket checkout or a nurse. If they want more money they should put their prices up, or if they feel they don't get paid enough, perhaps find another employer! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Marshall Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Having spoken to a few of the good ones who have left RCR because of the long hours and low pay, on the rare occasion I get one who does a good job I do chuck an exrra tenner at them. If you get one of the contractors they pull in when their own employees aren't available, I don't usually as they're charging RCR their proper rate and probably on £70 an hour. The two who walked away leaving me stranded, and the pair who swore at the farmer where I moor, no. Bit mixed, RCR engineers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditchcrawler Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Use Fairy Snow, it keeps your hands soft. Or the one I got caught on as a boy, "I will show you a shilling at the end of the week" no mention of giving it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robtheplod Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 I never tip anyone.... not comfortable keeping peoples wages low. Cup of tea and cake would be more than enough I'd think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
