in Doha is shocking.

 

I am a big tipper.  Wherever I go, I make sure that I tip someone that has given me wonderful service and I always tip 10% 

However, the other evening I joined some friends at A'saha restuarant and when we left, I left 20QR, even though our bill was only about QR 150, as we had just had some drinks and sheesha.  The service had been particularly bad but I still left a tip.

 

My friends that understand arabic overheard the waiter complaining that we had only left 20QR.  I was shocked by this, as I felt he didn't even deserve that much as he had ignored us most of the evening and even got our order wrong.

 

It just seem to be the norm here.
