Default Dreaded Topic: Tipping

I guess this post is a couple months too late. But, I didn't come
across the review on a fairly popular travel website until today about
a doctor in San Mateo California. He wrote about his trip and stay to
the Riu Palace in Playa Del Carmen Mexico. For those that don't know,
this is the most expensive Riu hotel in the Yucatan.

I got really ticked off on how the reviewer started off his review in
the subject line: JUST TIP EVERYONE!! He also commented on how the
Europeans who stayed at the resort didn't tip and they didn't get good
service. He also ended the review to TIP EVERYONE.

Clearly, that doctor makes more money than the average person,
believes money grows on trees, and doesn't subscribe or has ignored
that at an AI resort, tipping is included!! I wouldn't be surprised
that this doctor is the kind of individual that would go on with his
prepaid vacation to SE Asia where the Tsunami hit saying that "Life
must go on".
