tipping at the feed store

bizygal99 · 08-20-2009, 09:53 PM

I'm wondering if it is appropriate to tip employee's who load feed bags at our local feed store? If so, how much? I really appreciate the fact that I don't have to heave 50 lb bags into a full size truck and it is one of the reasons I shop locally instead of in the nearby city. I have purchased feed at a larger store and they simply directed me to the proper area and I was left to load it myself.
Thanks

I don't think it is necessary, but I'm sure they would appreciate it.

At feed stores or landscaping stores, I usually tip somewhere between 2-5 bucks or $.50 - $1 per bag, minimum $2.
