Cash in the jar. It is generally shared to everyone, and that is OK with me. At most of these places the person taking my order not freak it up when they relay is equally as important as the person making it. Not because that should require some immense talent, but it seems quite difficult for the people in Singapore. So if my drink shows up as I requested, tips all around. Generally I only start tipping when I've become a regular and know the people working that day.Brah wrote: Tipping baristas? How do you tip them and not the cash register lackey, like at a Starbucks?
Not for long! Didn't you know? The locals all want those jobs.JR8 wrote:

I guess, that wasn't pavement, that was a bicycle "lane"(???) You are supposed to walk just next to the road while bicycles are on the "pavement".JR8 wrote:- People riding bicycles on the pavement and ringing their bells at pedestrians to get out of their way (is riding on the pavement legal?)
It is notorious on the pavements, NOT on the bicycle lanes and yes, it is illegal. More recently I started to fight the bastards if it happens I am in somehow not so friendly mood. Must admit they show good riding skills bypassing me through the grass full of roots.Sergei82 wrote:I guess, that wasn't pavement, that was a bicycle "lane"(???)

If you pay attention, there are bicycle signs on the asphalt.
I have the same thing next to my house.
There are no bicycle signs, and the pavement (sidewalk) is about 6" higher than the road. Where the pavement dips down to a side road, there are yellow textured tiles to aid blind people.Sergei82 wrote:I guess, that wasn't pavement, that was a bicycle "lane"(???)

You would think so by the number of people that do it.JR8 wrote:-People riding bicycles on the pavement and ringing their bells at pedestrians to get out of their way (is riding on the pavement legal?)
