quick question re tipping
We're in a very nice hotel in BA which includes breakfast. Do we tip our server and if so how much would be appropriate.
Thanks

As there is no check to present, the staff which serves breakfast in places where it is included in the room rate often gets no tip.

They should be more than happy with 10 pesos (1 dollar).

The locals leave up to 10% in restaurants, less than Americans.

Have a great time in our country.

The "V" in avrooster obviously does NOT stand for "Von".

Another tipping question - Do you tip based on the final total or on the total before tax?
