Do you tip your A&P?

I imagine circumstances dictate this to some degree, but if your A&P
does some work for you, do you tip him? Percentage? - Mike

Nope... His work is a business deal, not a waitress working for $2 an
hour plus tips... If he needs more money you will be charged
accordingly...

Not when I'm charged $60 per hour.

Not a tip per se, but I gave both of my mechanics money for a
end-of-year/Christmas gift.

In my case, the mechanics are not self-employed, but rather employees of a
large company. Thus, they are only paid a salary for the work they do on
my aircraft. The gift is my small way of thanking them for a year's worth
of honest business and good work.

I agree, they are being paid for knowledge and effort. I don't tip
my physician or lawyer or car mechanic because I'm being billed for
services rendered.

However, I do bring krispy kreme or brownies every once in a while.
Makes everyone in the shop happier. And they're more likely to
talk to me immediately when I come in with a problem. The actual
work may not be scheduled for a while but it's never "I'm busy
let's talk about this in 10 days..."

Everybody should empty out their savings account and tip their A&P to the
max.

Or, as Blanche says, "Bring Krispy Kremes".

It just depends on your level of desperation.

No, but when you find someone who goes out of his way to do his job
honestly, correctly and accurately on a regular basis, you should reward
that person's attitude with something extra to demonstrate you appreciate
the extra effort. In my case, I ocassionally show up at the shop at closing
time with a case of very cold beer and some good food, bring a toy for one
of the kids, etc. And this doesn't just apply to A&P's.

No, I pay him his shop rate.
