Even though many moving companies discourage feeding their movers lunch or tipping them, companies do allow movers to accept cold drinks. If you are moving on a hot day, offer your movers water or lemonade. Many people will set up a station where water will be available along with cups and ice. Storing items in a cooler and allowing movers to help themselves is easier than having to stop to find cups, water, and other items. Movers will be able to take turns without having to slow down.

While movers will be tying to load the contents of your home as quickly as possible, offering them a cool drink will be much appreciated. By respecting the movers, you can move the process along faster and feel good about respecting another person’s job. After all, moving by yourself might have been impossible if it weren’t for the movers.
