I know i asked the
But are their wages not relevant to the cost of living My instructor last year told me she only paid 0.40 stotinki for a beer where she lived ummm re: Tipping Ski Instructors
Hi have been to bulgaria for the past 6 years and agree that they are hugley underpaid, we always tip 50 Lev per person in a group of 11, even te ski school manager does not earn any more than the instructors, in fact he is worse off as he only teaches when there is a shortage so misses out on the tips all season, also as it is quieter this year the instructors are on a rota for time off as they will not pay for them to be stood around, last year we were talking to one of the shop workers ...

Even though the prices have gone up £20 is not even a night out for most people. And there will be those who will comment that they take you to certain restaurants, they have too, it is in the contract to visit certain restaurants during the week where they are logged, yes they get a free lunch but this hardly makes up for earning £20 - £25 per week!!
re: Tipping Ski Instructors
Wages at the moment are not relative to the cost of living at all, food and basic costs of living are rising although wages are not, for those on the forum who think that it is easy to survive on 300 levs a month i would like to invite them to try.Most instructors spend almost this much in fuel per month just travelling to work, a free meal in a restaurant does not compensate and i cant stress enough that the tips they get are there income
