How Much Should You Tip a Cable Guy

A range of $10 to $20 is a safe bet. With the high price of cable and satellite service, a tip is likely the last thing on your mind. But if the technician’s beyond-believable service warrants it, and you’ve got it to spare, offer no more than $20.

How much is a decent tip?

15% is appropriate for average service ; 20% if your server is above average. You should feel free to tip above 20% if you received excellent service. If you received poor service, it is better to talk to the manager than skip on the tip.
