Yeah, exactly.. About percentages, it makes sense, hence my 30% sometimes 50%. It depends on what you order. What's funny about that is, I live in Algiers, Al

Yeah, exactly.. About percentages, it makes sense, hence my 30% sometimes 50%. It depends on what you order. What's funny about that is, I live in Algiers, Algeria.. Where a tip is sometimes considered "rude" :D You'll have to insist, or reframe it as "This is for coffee". But people have a hard time accepting a tip: Everything is included in the price, and I don't want charity. Plus, there are a lot of things people do for free.. Like you go to a shop to fill your tires with air.. You take the air pistol and fill your tires .. The shop owner doesns't even expect you to pay, because for them "it's nothing". But most people would still pay as a courtesy (notice how it's interesting that they're not even supposed to pay, yet pay). And on and on, a lot of repairs and all are done and you ask the guy "How much do I owe you ?" and he goes "We're good." I was on a village once, and there is someone there who carved out from his home and made a toilet available to the public. I used that toilet, and threw money outside to the court of that home, several times. I smile at the thought they wondered "WTH is this ?" since they did it for free, just as a gesture for people to use. My friends do that, too (free stuff). They "lose" some money but when you think about it, it's only tiny, since they get multiple folds the value from referrals: Those very people who got something for free bring their acquaintances and become sort of "evangelists".
