It seems like no one in the Philippines ever has change. It’s the craziest thing… I haven’t seen this in any other country and I’ve been to a lot of countries.
Good advice ! I tend to tip often but notice some restaurants already have a service charge incl. in the bill. I will always tip mailman as I don’t ever receive much but when I do its usually imp. & I want him to always remember me & my location sometimes is little hard to find. Also, boys that deliver my water & propane tanks. l just came back from Manila & got haircut @ Brunos @ Mall. Asawa not happy seeing 300p price but did it. LOL. But I almost fell out of the barber’s chair when he said I have dry scalp & asked if I wanted the treatment that cost 1,150p.
This is nit picking but sometimes it is the waitresses fault if your food is cold or late. If they are not paying attention the food ma be sitting on the counter for awhile
What about water delivery to your condo or food delivery?
Thanks for this, I found it very useful and it’s information that’s rarely provided.
Thanks for this, I found it very useful and information that’s needed but rarely found anywhere.
LOL–if I can out from the mall to head home on my scooter and found it not where I parked it, I would have assumed it was stolen and would next be reporting it to the police, never realizing some so-called parking attendants had re-parked my scooter.
One place where I leave a tip that you didn’t mention is if I’m staying in a hotel for more than one night. I leave a tip for the cleaning staff each day.
I just give the equivalent of $5 USD across the board. I never tip taxis, cashiers or front desk ppl
When splitting tips it is called tip pooling. I generally always ask how they do it..
Don’t give any tip! It is an american atrocity they can keep at home.
Some say 10% of the bill but then some say 150 peso is enough. I just spent 3 weeks there again in cebu .
For taxis, are they metered or can you negotiate the price of the trip before getting into the cab?
I have a scale for tips here in the Philippines but it’s based on the number of people in my group. If there’s 2 of us I will tip 50 pesos 4 of us 100 pesos. That seems to work for me. You need to look at your bill because many of the upscale restaurants are charging a 5% gratuitie.
Its all dependent on the service which unfortunately is very rare here
I thought they banned the tip sharing in the Philippines a couple years ago?
If a cab you have no small bills, ask if driver has change for what you have along with letting him know where you’re going
What do you do when a restaurant receipt shows a “service charge” of something like 10%?
Gd video. Yea! Barbers in Philippines great get nice cut mostly anywhere there like u said on side of the road without goin in the malls cheap cuts. They deserve tips . Taxis in provinces usually don’t hassle u. But different in manila cebu be care like u said always have smaller bills. Don’t get in taxi with large bills and its a 200 p ride! And u only have 500 p its a hassle getting change he just scored a 300p tip unless ur cool with it ha!
No one is entitled to my money.
However,
if I’m satisfied with a service, I reserve the right to give a tip.
Only if earned since I had to earn my money!
I always give a big tip.
Especially to places I frequent.
