Really!? A 10 peso tip just for washing your windshield? I realize Mexico is definately a country where tipping is expected for a lot of services that we don't tip for in the US-like baggers in the grocery stores, or services the US doesn't have like men in parking lots who assist you with loading your groceries or backing your vehicle out when you leave, etc.. Maybe someone could start another post with some suggestions and tips on tipping in Baja?


sure, why not! i usually buy 2 tankfuls on the way south and 2 on the way north. $4.... if it helps the guy be honest next time or just makes me feel good, who cares? i know the guy has never given it back and always seems to appreciate the 'gesture".
