I always give the guys in the petrol station 5 dhs each, and at restrauants but only when i get good service (10%). Also taxi drivers if they

a/ dont smell
b/ actually know where they are going
c/ they are pleasant and dont grunt when spoken too.

From recent experience, and on this scale of measurement, I won't be tipping much! My motor has been off the road recently (courtesy of the numpty Sikh truck driver who decided his truck would look better on the bit of road where my car already happened to be!) so been forced to sample the delights of the Dubai public transport system...

I always give the driver a tip..."learn your way around the city!" I find it amazing that they have no idea where anything is!

Incidentally, the policeman who came to the site of my accident, didn't even know where Emirates Towers were! He didn't get a tip either!

To be fair though, Emirates Towers aren't that big a landmark - they just have so many landmarks they get confusing!! They could do with bigger ones!!

hahahah. Now i understand what is the story behind the failure of "concord". The guy wrote " checkoslovakia" on board and then asked me " can i spell". I think you really need to take your medicine 😛 .......

Do ya know the difference between Man and woman? 🙂

Shhhhh - don't tell everyone, or they'll all be going there - it'll lose its charm if it gets too busy. There and Skegness!!

Ahh! Skeggy!

I can hear the call of the gulls and sniff the rich briny scent of the sewage outlet from here!

Makes me homesick....NOT!

I would be interested to know what kind of a waiter HP was. My guess would be a very slow one by virtue of him stopping at every other table and asking each and every woman sat there to marry him 😀

I'm a Brit and I reckon I would have paid the bill and left him 10 per cent... for amusement value 😀

arniegang

I would have made him pay me a tip for the priviledge of serving me

😂 😂 😂

I think those dinners that HP is refering to as running away as not to pay are really runing away from HP (not to avoid paying!).

If Seinfeld was still on HP could make a lot of money writing scripts.

I agree to that 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

I tell you something though DK - there are no better fish and chips anywhere in the world than the ones you buy at the seaside in England!! My personal favourite is Skegness - brings back lots of happy memories of the summer holidays when I was growing up!

arniegang

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh Fish n Chips - just cant be beaten eaten out of the paper, fighting off the Seagulls whilst sat on the harbour or seafront.

Priceless

Most definately!
Thats something I don't think could ever be recreated properly in Dubai - even with all their wealth

As a rule, if a place has already added 10% service charge then I don't tip. I want to tip on the basis of the service I've received and can't stand it when places think they have the right to charge it anyway.

I'll tip individual people based on their service and always cash, never add it onto the card bill as they won't get it.

Sadly won't tip at Emarat stations as the poor guys don't get it anyway, it goes to the management.

5=Pakistani and Indian: They always order the cheap food and act as they have bought the entire place. They always complain why it is so expensive. We never expected tip from them. They never order for drinks or soda , mostly they ask for "water".

6= Eastern european: They hardly have money to come inside . They usually order for one dish and couple of people share it.

5 = These are two different nationalities.

6 = You can be a little more specific, since eastern europe is fkin huge.
