Hola comunidad. Como guía turístico, vivo mucho de las propinas. Me preguntaba si es común en México que la gente dependa de esto. O si es más como un extra. ¿Ustedes qué saben del tema?
Hey! That's a good question. For us in service jobs, tips are definitely part of the income. But I don't think most people here *depend* solely on them. It's more of a nice bonus for good service.
Exacto, @pierre-rules. Es un buen punto. Creo que en México las propinas son más un extra. Un agradecimiento por el buen servicio, no el ingreso principal.
Yeah, that totally tracks with what I've seen. It feels like a nice gesture. Definitely not something you can bank on for rent, you know? Good to hear your take.

Totally agree, @pozolover2. It really feels like a thank you. Not something people can reliably budget around, you know? Glad you brought that up.
Jaja, sí, creo que la mayoría lo ve así. Un extra que cae bien, pero no para vivir. Como dices, un "gracias" por la chamba bien hecha.
Jaja, sí, tal cual. Un detallito extra que siempre se agradece. ¡Pero sí, para vivirla, no creo!

Totally. It's a nice extra, for sure. But yeah, I wouldn't plan rent around it. It's more of a "gracias" for the effort.
