Tipping RCR or not?

[Fran]

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.

Depends on the service you get. If it's above and beyond £20 wouldn't go amiss.

I don't use Stephanie's manglers but the tip I would give them is to work for someone else.

[Tonka]

Don't tie your shoelace in a revolving door way

 

That is a good tip

[RichM]

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!

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.

"Thanks very much, can we buy you a beer?" And a £20 note is offered.

Apparently Spike Milligan when asked about the tip from a cabbie said.”lucky boy in the 3.30 at lingfield”

Don't eat yellow snow.

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.

Tommy Cooper  to cab driver " Have a drink on me"  as he surreptitiously  put a tea bag  in the cabby's top pocket.

I never tip anyone.... not comfortable keeping peoples wages low. Cup of tea and cake would be more than enough I'd think?

Indeed....but some of them wouldn't get a job anywhere else....shelf stacking might be stressful for them
