I agree with most of you. I usually give a small tip to the gas station attendant, grocery bagger, etc... I usually give a few riyals. It sort of depends on what I have. if I have water and cases of soft drink, I tend to give them a bit more. At the car wash place, I give the 10-15 riyals.
Seeing that I waitressed while in university, I fully believe in tipping....IF THE SERVICE IS GOOD! A tip is exactly that...a tip for appreciating good service. it used to drive me crazy as a waitress when people tipped based just on the bill and the miserable cow I worked with would get them same as me.
For the most part, I consider tipping my charity.
and don't forget the poor labourers and such out working in the heat. They often don't have cold water. They really appreciate some cold water and juice. it costs you only a few riyals, it may help prevent them getting dehydrated that day and more importantly......it may restore their faith in mankind...especially since they aren't always treated so well.
