I’m paying you the price you quoted to do a good job

Right? I've never heard of tipping your plumber or mechanic, so why would I be tipping another person setting their own rates?

I have tipped my plumber and mechanic.

As a kindness, not as an expectation. I like to tip when I want to, but as soon as I feel pressured to tip, my defenses go up. 

I agree though, tipping a service provider for being reliable and high quality is a nice thing to do if you can. A mechanic/contractor is a good example, because many are not reliable or honest. Finding one that does good work and charges sane prices almost feels like a non-social friendship. Like they are doing some kind of public service by not scamming desperate folks.

Yeah - ok this I can agree with, as a kindness and not an expectation. I agree with that completely.
