      not in america with certain jobs, like waitressing. they're paid less than minimum wage because they're expected to make it up in tips, even if it's not a realistic expectation. unless a server like that does something real awful...tip them. just consider it as part of the price of where you're going.

    Maybe at the beginning of the tour he should point out or remind the patrons that his income or salary depends on tips just like a server. He wouldn't have to be demanding or rude about it, but it would inform those who don't know. I wouldn't think to tip a tour guide. I think there are a lot of situations where people may not know that a persons income is based in gratuity. I know that back when I was a server I had several people who didn't tip and one lady asked why people left money on the table after paying the check. When I informed her that we made less than minimum wage from the company and the difference was made up in tips she was surprised. She said that she had never really eaten out much and didn't know. There are some people out there who don't know when it is appropriate to tip and when it isn't unless they are informed.

    Or he could just charge them what he needs to so he can make an income. Expecting a tip is advertising a false price for the tour service. Charge a fee that makes it worth your time to give the tour or don't do it. Relying on tips is a bad idea. People want to pay the price they were advertised.

    No disrespect to the tour guide dude, but the whole concept of tipping while on vacations is out of control. We're commonly expected to tip at restaurants, but if you're on a touristy vacation we're also supposed to tip airport shuttle drivers, baggage porters at hotels, cab drivers, parking valets, desk clerks, hotel maids, bartenders, concierges, room service delivery, gambling dealers, sightseeing guides, tour guides... even bathroom attendants. Are we supposed to spend 75% of our travel budget on tips? We need real set wages for service people, like in most Scandianvian countries. Frankly, the over-expectations of tipping turn me off to most services like this, and I end up not using them. I even avoid restaurants with wait staff, considering that many restaurants automatically add on service charges and delivery fees in addition to the expectation you'll also be tipping. It's crazy!

Plus I was driving back & forth to school everyday 45 mins away from my home. I barely made a little over $130 a week. Any tips that the customers would give me I couldn’t take home bc we weren’t allowed to keep tips. I was making at least $20-30 a day in tips alone.

  • @SquidandCatAdventures
    @SquidandCatAdventures Рік тому

    It sounds like he has to say something about it but I actually find it a bit tacky for him to ask for tips at the end of the tour. I know to tip tour guides and understand many people from other countries outside of North America might not know. I would rather have a note in the booking info that says something like if you enjoy our tours, gratuities are much appreciated by your tour guides. For a bus tour, I've seen signs in the bus, which I think is a good thing but it's a bit more awkward because he gives walking tours. It would be nice now that everything is so easy to set-up electronically that you could just get a text or email afterwards with the option to tip and then it could just be on your credit card rather than having to get so much cash in the right currency when travelling and being careful to have enough for all of the tips. Especially when travelling to multiple countries in a trip.
