Do you tip the cableman?

I had never heard of tipping the cable guy either. That is, until my son started working at a cable company about 6 months ago. He gets tips from so many people! I had no idea people tip cable guys. Yesterday alone, he got two $25 tips and one $30 tip! I was very surprised but many do tip the cable guy.

Well, I didn't tip him but I did give him some bottled water before he left. Thanks for your replies.

Don't feel bad. I still won't tip the cable guy! LOL!

I tipped him a long time ago when he turned on the cable in two extra bedrooms for me at no charge.

No. Why would you tip someone who is just doing his job? Not like a waitress who is not paid a decent salary. I think people who make a good salary and are just doing their job should not be tipped. JMHO

The waitress/waiter is just doing their job. It's not your problem they don't get paid well.

I make it a point not to tip employees of companies that are already overcharging me by a high percentage beyond what should be reasonable, so no - cable guy would get a thank you and a don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord sit ya.
