Question Getting Clear Bra Installed - Does anyone know if you're expected to tip installers?

I believe detailers get 15% but getting a clear bra installed is a little different especially if the cost is $500-600. Has anyone here had a clear bra installed and did you tip? If so, how much?

If they provide you with a great job, then hell yes you tip them. What's the difference between an installer or a detailer and a hairdresser, waitress or a tattoo artist? You don't want to tip, can't wait to see the service you get next time..........I'm just sayin.

I always tip detailers (when I use them, not so much anymore) and without fail the service is markedly better the second time I use them...just saying
