Tipping

So the professional movers are coming tomorrow, in the teeth of the nor'easter, to move all the furniture. It's clear that gratuities (tips) are expected, and due to the weather I'm especially convinced they're appropriate. But how much? We have four guys and two trucks, for the day.

$20/person is not over-tipping these days, esp. if there's Factors (weather, specially difficult pieces, specially challenging stairs/terrain).

(I was once a mover myself, but we didn't get tips like that!--that was more than a quarter-century ago)
