CALLING ALL REGULARS

HI ALL,
WHAT'S THE SCORE WITH "TIPPING" IN PAMPS, DO THE BARMEN,TAXI DRIVERS,HOTEL STAFF ECT ECT....EXPECT TIPS LIKE IN THE USA OR IS A BIT MORE RELAXED, MY VIEW IS THAT YOU TIP SOMEONE IF YOU HAVE HAD A GOOD SERVICE, DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND DIFFERENT RULES I GUESS, BUT WHAT'S THE DEAL IN PAMPS ???
CHEERS IN ADVANCE,
MARK.

We tipped our instructor at the end of the week - he'd been brilliant and it would've been criminal not to

Watch out cos I've been told that when you pay a waiter/waitress the custom is they keep the change as a tip, now good if you pay with a high value note.
Very Happy

We were there at New Year and tipped at 10% for all services. We asked a Bulgarian friend and this is what he advised us to do and it was received graciously.In our experience all change was given back, even the very small coins although they do have a problem with lack of coinage and seem to deal mainly with notes. The coins are vitually worthless anyway.

Mark I am the same as you, if I get good service I tip simple as that. Always tip my instructor.

That works out at about 30p a day!

I would consider a minimum of 20 levs per person for an instructor would be seen as a reasonable tip. Don't buy them gloves or hats or anything like that as they have more than they need of these.

Of course tipping is ...

Of course tipping is optional - but if you've had a great time, just show your appreciation as you best think fit.
