Tipping question

Tipping is dumb. I do it, but I hate it. I'm already paying an agreed upon price for a service or product that I can't negotiate. Why should I also help pay your employees wages?
 
The one non-traditionally tipped person I tip is the lady who cuts my hair. She owns the business, and has no employees, so I assume that she's built the cost for all she needs, but it's so damn cheap ($11.50) and she always does a good job so I tip a few bucks to make it an even $15.
I always tip the barber.
 
Or they order 50 percent more than what they need and leave you with a pile of materials in your yard that you paid for and have no way to get rid of.

Man, sounds like some of you are getting fleeced by roofing companies. I am a project manager at a roofing company and I can tell you that I make sure that everything gets done the way it needs to. Our crews do what is needed to be done. I go above and beyond to make sure that homeowners get taken care of.

The only people i've tipped for doing work around my house is when I hired Two Men and a Truck to move in a large safe. It was about 100° and 90% humidity that day and the safe weighed ~900 lbs. I think the one guy may have dislocated his shoulder trying to get it through the door.

I didn't really think about tipping the tree guys after the derecho. Seems like I paid them enough as it was!

Preach. Countless companies were easily making $50k/day in the weeks after that.
