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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
