Tipping in the US and in markets greatly influenced by the US like Cozumel is so overdone. I'm fine tipping the old folks working as baggers now that I know, but I hate to see it overdone.Maybe they should put a little container out marked "Tips - Propinas" as a cue.
Yeah, I doubt that they get the training baggers in the US get, but then I had to ask for changes with a US grocery bagger today, and then there is Walmart which expects you to check and bag yourself - then risk getting busted for shoplifting if things go south.Gotta watch them though as many will put your eggs on the bottom of the bag and then seemingly put every heavy thing they can find on top. All have been very polite.
If you have to use a card, I think requesting it be done in Pesos works best, I think,I used my credit card for the purchase and requested it to be done in pesos
I get my Pesos at the HCSB machine at the end of the block from my hotel, but it is challenging keeping up with two currencies, then trying not to come home with too many. Google is showing 20½ Pesos to the USD at the moment.
