<prompt> Human: I am, apparently, either way too loose with my money or way too stingy. I am always ridiculed when I try to tip at any plllace that isnt a restaurant, where it is just a flate . But when it comes to bars or baggage help or taxis i dont have a methodology. Any rules of thumb would be helpful, especially at bars where I generally pay with cash and the smallest denomination I have is a 1.Edit: holy crap! this was my first post on this sub, and I couldnt be more thankful for all of your comments! lol I was super irritated before I posted this.Assistant: A dollar a drink at bars is more than fair. If you run a tab 15 is plenty because if you forget to close out at the end of the night they are going to fuck you.20 for good service at a ful service restaurant. 1-2 per person at a buffet style restaurant.10-15 at the barber or salon1-5. For valet.Best rule of thumb is tip what you think for the service you received.Human: Thanks for the reply. right now i am in mexico i live in the states, and i am at an all inclusive resort where there isnt any prices showed on anything freeincluded but i know that these people are underpaid so i feel obligated but i have no to go by.  <response>: Its possible youre paying a daily gratuity built-in to your package. Check trip adviser for your resort, and do a search in the reviews for tipping or gratuity to see if other people mention it. Its common at resorts and on cruises, but people will often tip on top of that to ensure good service. Ignore those on Trip Adviser saying that you can tip less in Mexico. If youre surrounded by Americans, tip like youre in America.Before we went to Cancun I read a lot about whether to tip in pesos or dollars. The conclusion was pesos are probably preferred, but dollars are acceptable.You should be set tipping 1 a drink, with an extra 1 thrown in every once in a while for good service, especially if you get the same spot by the pool with the same waiter ever day.
