How Much Do You Tip The Driver?



Recommended Posts

I will be picked up from San Diego airport, taken to Tijuana Mexico & back.

Plus I will also be getting my teeth whitened, which involves 2 trips to the dentist, which the driver will take me to.

Was thinking $50. Is that enough? Too much? I really don't know & want to give the driver a nice tip!

I think 10 each way from SD to TJ, and 5-10 for round trip from the dentist is fair :) so, 30

Thanks I sent her a PM to ask about her experience. I am also using Dr Kelly, so would think it was the same dentist.

I tipped 15 each way from SD to TJ and back. I would say 10 round trip for each dental appt. The driver seemed very happy with my tip though so maybe my overtipping thing extended to this. (I always leave 25% on a table, much to my bfs chagrin)My driver was awesome though, pointed out interesting sites, joked around with us and was very good at keeping us all talking to him and eachother so we wouldn't be nervous.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
