Ok I admit I don't tip for bad service. Other than that I believe the word applies to you, unless you can expound on your very silly comment....

As I mentioned to another reply, they earn tiny money for working all day in hot sun. 20 or 30 Baht is nothing to me once or occasionally twice a week. In the 1960s my dad, a lowly London bus driver, used to tip petrol station attendants too. I learned compassion from him. Try it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally I don't tip every time I go to the same place, but maybe once a week. I always think, ok it's not much, but if everybody puts in, it means something. Mr Pink in Reservoir Dogs has a point, but in the end, he pays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely disagree with your meanspiritedness. Punishing poor people is the only outcome of your view. Merry Christmas, goodwill to all.

A friend's daughter worked there for a week or two and decided it wasn't for her, . I do sometimes, depends on the change I get. Not always though. At least they have aircon! 🤣 I give Grab food delivery bikes 40 baht because I live 8kms outside of town. And I try not to order in wet weather too. It must be a grim trip. Merry Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
