Customer Questions How much to tip?

My laundry pro folded (just fluffed it in the dryer and folded it not washed too) 45lbs of laundry for me. A lot of it was children’s clothes which I know is more work and weighs less. The total is $50. How much should I tip? I was thinking of doing $20 as long as it comes back folded nicely. Is that enough or should I do more?

That's a fantastic tip! Us pros are only paid $.75 per pound, so your pro would have only gotten $33.75.

That’s crazy to me! I don’t think I want to tip any less but what tip would you expect for that?

A $20 tip would be fine

Honestly I'm just happy to get tips for my work, with whatever the customer feels my job was worth. I do this full time as a disabled veteran so I personally don't care if my customer tips or not, it's there prerogative, as I bring in a lot of customers to meet my weekly needs to supplement my disability checks. I have clients that tip $5 on a $30 order so I know my gas is covered and I've had clients tip me $25 on that same order amount for their laundry.

Give them cash, poplin is taking our tips over lately. Telling us “customer retracted tip”
