    I've read that the wait staff likes $2 dollar bills, do they also like $1 coins?

    Coins are actually very unhandy for them. Over the years I've exchanged a lot of coins for folding money for the bartenders to help them out since it is a real problem for them to do anything with it. Two dollar bills are thought to be lucky so they don't tend to cash them in, so I still don't know which way to say about them.

    Exactly, no one there likes U.S.A coins. We were waiting at the bus stop one day, and I gave some change in my pocket to a Mexican kid (probably 8 years old), he looked at it, saw that it was American and threw it at me and said something I didn't understand.

    A tip definitely goes a long way in regards to the service you get especially at the bars.
