Not for debate but for informaiton...Tipping/gratuity is expected for services (get lots of $1 bills) most anything (help with bags, getting a taxi) a tip is expected. A buck a bag is the standard and a couple of bucks for help getting a cab would be the norm. Rule of thumb minimum 10% tip at meals (before tax) is the service is below average...15% is average...20% great service. If soemthing is not to your liking tell teh server they will fix it.

Yep the tipping is a bit weird! Sometimes almost demanded, other times I offered and the person almost reluctant to accept. Something you have to get used to I guess.

Have a great trip!
