   Its all up to you. People will not expect it. But if you do, they will be very happy. People in the service industry only earn between 15k and 30k. Thats like between 60 usd cents and 1,2 usd. With 10k you can buy 2 half liters of bottle of water. I tipped once 2 young girls each 50k and I have never seen anybody so happy by receiving 2 usd. Dont think 1 hour of work has much as purchasing power as 1 hour of the same work in vietnam. At the end a few dollars less wont make a difference to me. But for them it means the world.

   Everything is better than nothing, but from the 10k up, depending about the situation.
