Tipping

[msmemory_archive]

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.

labelling

[cellio]

I did the same labelling thing (with colored dots). I also gave them an index by floor -- e.g. pink, yellow, and green dots all go to the second floor, blue and tan go to the attic, white and orange go to the first floor -- so they could optimize dolly-loads if they wanted to. This boggled them; I was clearly the most organized customer they'd had in a while.

Alas, it did not prevent errors, though I suspect it reduced them.

Yes, did reduce errors, but that was so much easier!
