When I moved in May The move was $550 for 3 guys/5 hours.
One of them said "A $90 tip each is customary". I had to try really hard not to laugh at him

You got a fairly cheap move, considering you moved in May (moving rates are demand sensitive by not only season, but also day of the month).

$90/man for five hours is laughable.

I worked as a mover for a couple years. I worked for a very, very expensive company. We were happy to average $2/hour in tips over the long run, since we charged so much and rich people are bad tippers.

I worked for a less expensive company. We were happy to average anything over $4/hour in tips over the long run, since we charged less and working class people are awesome tippers.
