holiday monies?

Monty said something about a 14 euro can of coke in Venice or something.

Rome full of sneaky f**kers. You buy a coffee but you can't sit down to drink it or you have to pay more. Or the bar man tells you they don't have a toilet when they clearly do.

Quoted me the fare in English and then tried to multiply rather than divide when it came time for me to dole out the rupees (or w/e)

Bit of a fvck-up, that one. I had to continue alone, while he had to leave.

for 'assis' (seated). Perhaps it is the same in Italy.

Also, in the USA don't you have to pay some extortionate hourly rate for some fecker to carry your bags for about 5 seconds (whether you actually wanted them to or not)? Then you're supposed to give them a dollar or they shoot you. I might be a little bit exaggerating here.

Even tipped the maintenance guy who came to fix something in the hotel room.

Top hotel, £400 odd a night.

When it came to check out, I only had about $2 in change so felt a bit bad giving the doorman that after he'd got us a taxi and put our suitcases etc in... The guilt only lasted for about 26 seconds though.

next day I felt guilty and gave him something and said.
Look can you explain who I am supposed to tip or not.

I was told Taxi blokes,
the Cab driver
waitresses
the casino waitresses (I don't mind this as the drinks are free)
barmen
room attendants.
the people at the roulette/blackjack etc tables.

and if you win a big amount and they have to handpay you you are supposed to tip that person too!

south-east Asia they will try and fleece you unless you bargain - which I hate.

surrendered regardless of the quality of the service. (Even more so if they have to pay tax on an anticipated level of earnings whether they get it or not, as I have heard claim.)
