Paying Tips for Services in USA

Don't like that la bro . . . was offered but thought silly to pay $5k a year for it so ended up with the Reserved one.

rental car counter personnel are highly trained to look out for towkays with certain credit cards and upsell like hell if it's business expense. if gold, be bold. if platinum, go maximum. if diamond, be stubborn. if black, go all out and attack!

Hey the Blues band you mention is the one you told me about? I've planned to go there probably 7th or 8th.

yup, they change bands every month or so. bands earn from tips. the restaurant just let them have the stage for playing. it's a win-win for all, especially for customers.

Is this still the LAX hotel? $25 is ex for a hotel guest but then but since it is near LAX they actually do some business as a parking lot for flyers who want to leave their car.

$2 tip for valet - yes. Tip when picking up car, not when dropping off. When checking out, call them first so that when you ready to leave, car will be waiting.
$2 tip for bottles of water - yes, sounds right.
For future reference, $2 is the right amt. when you ask someone to do something over and beyond

You are getting to be quite an expert in this tipping thing!

how come the hotel that you staying in does not provide free parking? as for the tipping, give what you think is right, few dollars is good enough.

Once upon a time in China, me and my buddy lived in a bin'guan in Dongguan when we had some business there. At every floor lift lobby there was a desk usually manned by one woman and one man, providing spare soap or toilet paper or more water etc. as when needed, even providing direction as to where to buy stuff not supplied by the hotel. Me and my buddy tipped them RMB10 per day each as we passed by the desk. Then one night, ring ring, hello, who's that, what's up? The reply came, Gong'an is coming up by the lift for a spotcheck, send your hair salon girls out down by the other corner stairwell a.s.a.p.

This is why I love Thailand. Almost all parking is free.
