Not saying they shouldn't. Asking why they do. The tipping threads aren't saying that you should tip, they are usually asking about how much to tip if you do tip. So why do non-tippers have so much to say about those who do tip? Is it because they secretly know that the reason they don't tip is that they themselves lack generosity?

That is a plausible answer to the question "Why do some people decline to tip?" My question was why do non-tippers feel compelled to jump in to every discussion of tipping. Seems like some conflict there.

It's funny to me (strange and humorous) how non-tippers jump into every discussion about tipping to give a spittle-spraying protest about how tipping is bad/wrong/foolish etc. Seems like they could just ignore the thread but they never do. What is the explanation? Just extreme tightwads?

"Keep on tipping your security who probably call you all sorts of names in Thai once your back is turned!" Proved my point, you're a jerk. Probably suffer from last-word syndrome as well so I'll go ahead and block you.

Thank you I am gonna try and switch.

My taxi ride to work is short and Grab charges a 20 baht surcharge on each ride so makes a significant added cost on a 60 baht fare.

I will check that out, I need a US number and I have never figured out a better way. I will check out UltraMobile PAYG. Thanks. Are you on a grandfathered rate at UltraMobile? Looking on their website I see the lowest rate as $15/month.

I give the daytime condo security guard 500 baht/month. He calls a taxi for me 5 days a week and accepts all deliveries. So I am wondering what to give him at Xmas. I guess the card and a comparable amount should do it.

I have a phone on Consumer Cellular service. Not roaming, I can call and receive voice and text calls from US phone numbers. I pay 15 - 25 USD per month for this varies with number of calls. I don't use for anything else but call/receive from US numbers. I tested it with my Thai phone and it can receive calls and texts from a Thai number as well, but I don't use it for this except for OTP codes for CCs etc.

So "sexual assault" vs rape. Glad that terrible slander can be corrected.

Been vacationing here since 2000 and now live here year round. Only times I had aggro from anyone was 2 times from "my fellow Americans", and once from a group of Brits (these fellows were maybe yobs or chavs I didn't ask). In both cases alcoholic beverages were involved and I exercised the better part of valor and either ignored or moved on.

Map proves conclusively that Trump got a lot of counties where nobody lives. It isn't a question of coastal elites, the blue counties are the populated counties.

News reports that Musk pressured Trump, who pressured Republicans to renege on budget deal, putting Federal Govt at risk of shutdown. So is Trump gonna be Musk's puppet gong forward?

Wow, great saying.

Dislike of the health insurance industry is hardly confined to any one political orientation.
