    In cancun it's more or less if you don't tip you don't get in the clubs...be prepared to tip to get served at a reasonable pace

    In resteraunts you got to tip, cos they run their asses off and don't get paid all that much so it's just a nice thing to do

    Basically pal it is how it is over in cancun, if between you and your pals you put together a decent tip for a waiter in a club he/she will make sure you are looked after all night. I know it's not really ideal after paying to get which in the price includes free drink but it's just how it is. Tip and get a good service, dont and wait for 30 mins in a drink que lol.

    Last year me and my pals just got tables at most places, paid for the table and gave the waiter a healthy tip so that he came back to us all night, as soon as our drink ran out he was over with more. Between you and your pals (depending on how many of you there are) each stick 5 dollers in for a tip, so last year there were 8 of us so he got $40 at the begining and because he was that good we gave him about another $30 at the end of the night. What the hell is what i say, you're on holiday live large and get looked after, after all dollor to pound ratio is pretty good.

    Yeah mate thats the way it is out there, they just ignore you kinda until you tip them in the clubs, even after paying $50 entry you gotta pay a little more when inside i mean I usually pay like $10 then maybe another $10 later something like that nothing too major...

    Woooa there Rik.

    Lets be a tad more accurate shall we in the fact we kicked the likes of you out of Sheff years back therefore you locales should infact be just outside Rotherham, near Doncaster actually :lol: :lol: :lol:

    On the tipping subject its like Rik and Frenzie said, tip early on that way your virtually guarenteed constant service. Its amazing been 6ft2 and 19st how invisable you are untill you pull out a $20 note and then suddenly your the most popular bloke in the club. I've even seen it kick off cos waiters and bar staff have ignored others waiting before us to serve our group who had tipped large early on, wrong, maybe but the dollar speaks volumes. End of.

    Ian :lol: :lol:
