Question

taxi drivers

bell boys

tour guides

waiters

I want to do the right thing.

Thanks

Answer 1

taxi drivers- No.

bell boys- Yes

tour guides- Yes.

waiters- depends.

Dont tip Taxi Drivers because most of the time, they are already charging you more than what they charge locals.

In Costa Rica it is not a custom to tip in bars or in restaurants but the tourist do it all the time so if it makes you feel good to give the server a tip, why not.

Some tour guides dont have the best salaries so a extra tip would really help them.

Bell boys, they deserve a tip.

Have fun.

I want to do the right thing.

Thanks

Answer 2

all of the above

Answer 3

taxi drivers-No

bell boys-yes

tour guides-No

waiters-Yes

Although if you want, you can tip all of them, they'll appreciate it.

Answer 4

Taxi drivers:  No

Bell boys:  Yes

Tour guides:  Yes

Waiters: No (their tip is included in the check - no need to give them extra tip.  They get their tip whether they provide a good service or not).

You should tip the boys that bring your bags to your car if you go to a super market.

Thanks for being so thoughtful.

Answer 6

Yes, I would tip all of them. That's what I did in Mexico. They rely us Americans for tips, that's how they make their living.
