Like most fathers, my dad could embarrass me in a number of ways, for instance he would explain to potential girlfriends that I rarely washed my neck - a weird parental obsession at this time that was happily replaced by other annoying verbal quips later in my teenage years. Indeed, I remember once going with him and mum to a Chinese restaurant (“Quite the latest thing”….said he!) and when the subject of a tip for the waiter came up, he actually said to the poor chap who was hovering meaningfully - “Never smoke in bed.”
The complicated truth about tipping
"I have to say that in Spain - and Mallorca in particular, tipping is quite a civilised procedure"

Why did you not survey the staff of bars and restaurants as to their salary or wages. To also confirm that they have to hope and rely on tipping to live.
