I've been living in Cambodia for quite some time, and it's the same here. Tip a little here and there, but almost never more than $1. Usually 25 cents or so. Great channel, by the way. We're looking at Ecuador as our next living destination in a couple of years.

Very good advice. You said it like I needed to hear it: "Almost never tip" I'm one of those who tips all of the time. I did that down there too, but always thought it could be a bad idea. It also inflates the prices for the locals who are struggling enough as it is. A taxi driver might skip a local in favor of a typical gringo to get the tip. Not good for the local economy!

Giving directly to your server is good advice. Here in Italy, tipping is rare but appreciated when you do. Most restaurants have a cover charge included for the setting, bread, and servers. Your choice.

Hello. I live in Montañita, Ecuador. Most of restaurants pay 200$ a month to employees. And the rest You earn is tip. 200$ a Month is 8$ a day (8hrs). LUCKLY You can get paid 10$ a day wich is 260$ a month. Basic salary is 400$ but no one pays that here Even if You are legal. The "reasons" are tips. Tips supposed to be enough ti complete salary or "more".

Taxi fares are regulated-I’ve never been quoted even $5 for a $3 ride. Always ask price before getting into a cab; once you know prices you don’t even need to do that. Workers have really been hurt over the past year as a result of Covid restrictions-if you’re just passing through, be generous.

Do people really give a 10 or 20 on a $3 taxi ride? I give 50 cents if they help me. A buck if they really go out if their way for me. I once had a taxista say "is that all?" I never called him again. It's wise advice. Thanks

Here in the states the cashier puts a tip jar next to the register so when you order your food to take out, they didn't provide any service since you are not eating in the restaurant and they still want a tip. A tip for what? If they don't provide a service like bringing you food to your table and serving you, why should they expect tip money for take out? Ridiculous. Even when you apply your credit card, they actually put a tip suggestion in there nothing under 15 percent. Ridiculous.

Okay, now I understand. You come from Cleveland. I have lived in Ecuador ten years and find most of what you say to be incorrect. But then I live with natives. These are my neighbors and I live in the very center of a small tourist city. This is a stupid and incorrect video. And it is a reason locals get a negative attitude about expats, mostly U.S. expats. If you are living here, which is hard to believe, where are you living. I treat locals as I would want to be treated. You earn respect in Ecuador, something you cannot even find in the U.S. any longer. I am living in their country at a quarter of what I lived in the U.S. My banker, insurance person, Internet man and most restaurant owners are all close friends. I made an agreement with my housekeeper and driver 9 years ago, same arrangements I would have made in the U.S.. Since I am almost never seen with expats, I do not have to worry about being charged what most consider "Gringo rates". And, in most cases, I determine value. I am not so cheap that I have to haggle with anyone. When asked where I am from, I assume they want my casa location and add to that "diez anos", and you can see a change in attitude immediately. I am not a visitor. This is my home., where I live royally on Social Security. I have had a great live and traveled the World, and see no reason not to share it.

First of all if from north America the Ecuadorians automatically think you have money. Leaving nothing or a quarter is acceptable for a cheap lunch.
