I’m getting my first old school seltzer delivery in about an hour and I don’t know if I’m supposed to tip this guy.

Quick! It’s his own delivery business and I happen to know that he more than doubles the cost of each bottle.

Tip him for each delivery or at the holidays???

  1. I used to have a milkman (who did selzer and other stuff) and only tipped at christmas. But he came before sunrise and left it outside the door

  2. Ok, he just came. I could swear he was disappointed in the lack of tip, but maybe I’m imagining it.

    I know that chargers are cheaper, but reliving my childhood memories: priceless.

    I’ll let you know how it is!

  3. Wow – that brings back memories of Marty the Seltzer Man in the East Village, 70-80s.
    He was so adept at lugging those wooden cases on his shoulder and maneuvering through doorways and tight spaces.
    I never tipped him, as he was a one-man-show.
    But I occasionally gave him little food treats and gifts.

    Why don’t you skip it the first time and see what the reaction is.
