(Though I once unexpectedly had to spend extra time with a guide I'd already given an envelope tip too (because there were Americans in the party and there was national pride to consider) and that was just painful - though all in my imagination, of course.)<br /><br />Tipping, or not, people who serve you regularly - wow, arguments both ways.

It's so inefficient! And a nuisance, and awkward, and EXPENSIVE! It really is a tiresome thing for us visitors to try to deal with - a proper spoiler.<br />This guy was working for Hilton, and the ride was complimentary, so that stuffs up any maths. He said he'd tell me when he picked me up again, and I was so fed up with the whole business, I just walked back.TravelSkitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06178678532534472910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545866386110188741.post-25752464270477802982020-01-31T01:41:38.000+13:002020-01-31T01:41:38.000+13:00He can’t give you an answer because there are no r...He can’t give you an answer because there are no rules. Some say if he owns his own cab, he’s a business owner, so you wouldn’t tip him. Some say 20% for everything. Some say 20% of a short cab ride is an insult and there a minimum of $5. Some are my husband who just hands out $20 for anyone who looks at us.the queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10263293738568555668noreply@blogger.com
