Bagging kids at the super
$10 - 25, depending on size of load
Valet drivers at the bar/restaurant
Haven't used
Waiter in a restaurant - just a drink/full meal
Depends. If "la ley" or other form of tip is already included, then it depends on the quality of the service; if the service was good, I'll throw in another $50-100 depending on how much we ate. If "la ley" is not included, then 10-20% of the bill (not including ITBIS), again, depending on the quality of service.
Kid/old man "watching" your car for a few hours
Nothing if it is on a public street. Otherwise, $10-20
The guy who just washed your car
$100 (never had it washed without asking; if someone washes it without my asking, I'd still pay 100 if it needed to be washed)
(for the wife) The salon - washer / stylist / nails
Dunno
The window washers at the street corner - when you ask/when you say no and they do it anyway
$5 if I asked / 0 if not
Regarding eating in a restaurant - I'm still not sure about the charge for "la ley". I've come to assume that it is a tip to be distributed among the entire staff, but if anyone has better info, I'd love to hear it. I tried to do a search on "la ley" but the search engine says "la" does not count as a word "too small"
