Alright, let make bets. When will HK reopen? I want to arrive to Tijuana a day early, haha.

Imma say May 1st?

I think China was closed for two months but I think we'll have a treatment in three weeks, then another week or so to ramp up production on it. I'm going predict May 4th and they'll have a star wars themed reopening. Girls will dress as sexy versions R2 D2 and CP3 O and they'll be selling lightsaber themed condoms that glow in the dark.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. People thinking that normalcy will come back in a couple weeks or a month have been kidding themselves. All these weekly bans and shelter rules are going to keep getting extended over and over again. I'the be surprised if we're able to step foot into a bar by Christmas. Sports is already shutdown through the summer. That should tell you there's not going to be any public gathering anytime soon. But that's the US perspective. Maybe Baja or whoever's makes the call says fuck it and opens business back up soon. But how big of a hit will the Zona take with less gringos and a lot of those girls that don't come back.

Based on CBP changing crossing attitude today the border could be very restricted to very few exception, if any. Wearing mask is no no at CBP station today. Rx not a valid reason.

No social distance marking, bunched up like cattle. Practice 6 feet, Thanks.

Americans overtip. The rest of the world laughs about this. I think it's good to tip well if you liked / appreciated the service (although some people don't being tipped). I wouldn't tip a hooker. Especially that many of them (not just in Mexico) earn more than an average member of this forum.

The rest of the world are jealous because Americans are the most prosperous and blessed. They laugh because they have no idea what it is like to have such easily replaceable disposable income.

If the hookers make more money than you, how the hell can you afford them?

Since we're talking about tipping, I'll put this here, although I think it's been talked about in this forum many, many pages ago:

How much do you guys tip a bar girl for good service upstairs? And what about for excellent service?

I'll ask the same thing in regards to escorts, however, l'll put that in the escort thread.

I'm a 20% guy. I'm sure that comes from having dated & been around a lot of women in the service industry who completely rely on tips. Also, being in the entertainment business myself, I understand how a little extra dough helps out a lot.

I know a lot of you guys are going to call me.

1. a fool with my money.

2. an idiot.

Me:

$1 for a waiter per drink, unless he pulls the shake a drink, then $0 and I ask for a new waiter.

$1 at the restaurant.

$0.25 for the bathroom.

$1 for a border ride. Unless its the ingrate sarcastic fuckhead that drives at the HK old border, then $0.

$1 for the 80 year old lady selling candy for $0.25.

$0 for the guy opening the oxxo doors.

$0 for beggars.

$5 for some bouncers for Christmas.

$0 for new chicas because I am already paying their 20% chino tax.

Free dinner at my favorite chica's favorite restaurant.

Sean do you realize how lucky we are to be born in the US. We hit the birth lottery. I lost my job because of the coronavirus. 2 weeks ago I received what I thought was my final check. This morning I checked my bank account and I saw 1800 dollars deposited in my account. I freaked. I checked to see where it came from and lo and behold the company I worked for decided to give everyone a 2 week severance type payment to help us out until we get back to work. I'm not even full time there. The company didn't have to do that for us.

On top of that, I will be getting 1200 from the government that they printed out of thin air. On top of that, I will be getting a extra 600 a week on top of my unemployment check. I am going to make more money off this virus than I ever could have made working. These girls in mexico and Colombia won't get any money when this whole economy collapses. They will be starving. The difference between us and them is I was born here and they were born there. You think when I can get back to Colombia or Tijuana I won't spread the wealth a little bit after all the free money I'm getting in the next 6 months. You damn right I am. I won't be stupid with it but I will be tipping girls that provide good service and I enjoy being with. Have a heart man. Quit looking at life as for me to win they have to lose.

I have been in the customer service industry since 21. Relied on tips. I have had some generous tippers in my life that really made my week or night and I was able to pay off needed bills. If you have a great time with a hooker and want to tip 100 or 200 pesos, it will help her out a lot. I don't care how much you think these girls are making.

These girls have a short window to make money and a lot of them are horrible with money to begin with. You are not a sucker for tipping 5 bucks for crying out loud. Only if you send money to them from the US over some sob story. Don't be a dick and tip for great service, and if it's bad just give her what you negotiated. The escort agency takes a cut so they aren't making all of it. Remember one thing, when you die, you can't take any money with you so unless these 5 dollar tips will be needed by you at the end of your life, you won't notice it. Don't be a jerk.

Bring it on. I stand prepared!

Nothing. A session for them is already a good score. In my experience, the great providers have upstanding personalities and are happy to provide. None of them ever push or expect a tip. Bad providers will be pushy and ask for tips. Best to avoid those providers altogether.

You're tipping the girl because you think she's not charging enough money?

That sort of tipping may be "appreciated" but it's really not part of the Mexican culture. If you contract with somebody to do something for a specific price, you pay it and no more. Unless there's something extraordinary. They don't tip taxis because the fair is negotiated beforehand. They wouldn't tip the plumber or the painter.

Lots of guys say the girls asked for $100, they negotiated down to $80 and then tipped $20. That seems to defeat the purpose.

Regardless, I only use pesos and I would rarely tip the girls, outside of maybe rounding up to the nearest 500 pesos, I. E. If we settled on 1400 I would give 1500. The exception, as stated above, is if she went above and beyond. My last threesome I tipped the hooker (the other was a pseudo-GF) nicely because she went above and beyond, allowing BBFS and other things. IIRC it was around 500 pesos, but we'd all been at it for over an hour.

It's your money, spend it how you wish. But you are a bad dresser.

I generally tip 10% for good service and perhaps double that for great service especially if the chica swallows my load or stays longer than the agreed upon time.

Can anybody tell me: are all the beers in HK priced at $4? I think I was paying more for Bohemia's but with all the pussy and drinks going down can't remember. I always tip the meseros $1 for my beer or a ficha. Also $1 for the guy who puts the robe on the chica. When I was in Cartagena almost all the restaurants added on a 10% service charge. I asked the chicas I was with if that was enough to leave and they said yes. I always put in a little more cash to make it 15% because the service was always good and I was eating and drinking great stuff for half the price of San Diego.

Generally the price for a bottle of beer is $ 5. Tecate light and a few other brands I don't remember are $ 4. At every bar in Hong Kong there is an accurate list hanging at the bar with prices for beers, tequila shot, brandy shot, alcoholic beverages etc. You can always check. 1 $ tip is OK.

Perhaps I've been lucky with the bartender each time, but Tropical might be an exception. When I receive two beers for 72 pesos, I tip 8 pesos. The bartenders don't jump for joy over it, but they're appreciative. A few have even given off a vibe that had a faint feeling of respect kind of akin to they know that I know. I'll explain. A Mexican national buddy of mine who has lived in CDMX and Monterrey once scolded me when I tipped 20% at a restaurant. He told me locals tip in the range of 10-15% and the higher end of that only if the service is amazing. Another Mexican national buddy who has lived in Guadalajara, Tijuana and CDMX said the same thing. In fact, we went to a nice restaurant me, him and another dude and when the bill came it was around 4400. After my buddy meticulously checked the bill, I gave the mesero my card and when he handed the credit card machine back to me, there was a prompt to enter tip amount so I asked my buddy what he would tip to which he replied 550. I entered the amount and handed the machine back to the mesero who had a very normal reaction. He printed a copy for me and we left. Coming back full circle to Tropical, an 8 peso tip on 72 is in line with 550 on 4400, especially when you consider the latter was at a high end restaurant. I get that many of us live in parts of America where 20% is the norm, 25% is a good tip, and 15% is being a Cheap Charlie, but check that shit at Pedwest before importing that insanity to a country not our own.

You're pretty much correct here. 10% tip is more than sufficient in most restaurants. Once a HK puta invited me to El Grill, which is one of, if not the most, expensive restaurant in Tijuana. It was her, two sisters, me, and 2 kids. I ordered something cheap, like $120 pesos because I knew she was paying. The total bill was like $2000. When they came around with the credit card reader, the puta responded "$50 pesos" when asked how much tip to add.

I honestly think Mexicans tip more reasonably than Americans. Americans tip too much. Being a server is a menial job, meant for the underskilled and under-educated. The amount of skill and education needed is not much different than a janitor. They should be compensated as such. A waiter is someone that carries food to your table. They are nothing more than that. To think that they are more than that and tipping more to justify it, well, it is just foolishness. Think about it, tipping 15%-25% for what? Does carrying a plate of $50 tomahawk ribeye require more skill than carrying a plate of $5 nachos? You go to Morton's and blow $200 for dinner for two. So you tip $40. Then you go to Applebee's and blow $40 on dinner for two. And tip $8. Did the Morton's waiter do 5 x more work than the Applebee's waiter? No way. They probably came around to your table once or twice more than the Applebee's waiter but the amount of extra work they did is not 5 x.

Waiters at fancy steakhouses often make more than college educated professionals. Think about it. 10 tables a shift at $60/ table. That's $600 a shift. And $60/ table is a conservative estimate. Those entertaining clients charging the corporate AMEX will ring up bills upwards of $1000 or more when they start ordering fancy whisky. That's a $200 tip from one table. Way too much for a menial job.
