Stupid Question -- Tipping



Recommended Posts

So with all the things that I have to think about, I can't believe this is bugging me, but it is....anyone who has had surgery in Mexico, can you please tell me what you did about tipping the driver who took you to/from the airport and the hotel? I want to make sure I tip appropriately, but also am trying to keep to a budget on the trip.

Any advice would be appreciated!

I asked the ame question on the other fpurm--answers varied - 5-20 bucks, depending on diffiernt scenarios. Some akso tipped nurses, etc.

That's not a stupid question at all! I'd love to hear what people have to say. Normally I vacation in Jamaica, and tip my driver $5-$10, but there's a "no tipping" policy at the resort, because it's all inclusive.

I tipped 20 when he picked me up, and i was planning on tipping 20 back as well, but ended up having to pay cash for part of my hotel stay (long story, supposed miscommunication with dr and coordinator)... So anyways tipped 10 on the way back. The only reason i tipped so much was because the driver, ricardo, was so awesome. He's a super nice guy :)

I tipped 20 there and back. He carried all my things for me and was super sweet.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
