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 apiece and coffee should be good.

Please check your rates and math separately from theirs. When we moved last, the crew chief worked out a bill on paper and handed it to me. It was clear that he was having trouble with math that day, but it ended up with about what we had been quoted, so I paid in cash. Then we got a call two days later saying that he had miscalculated and we owed them $300 more. I told them to send a written bill showing all the work and rates, and though they tried to get us to send them more cash without it, eventually they gave up.
