Good idea to help people! It is great that you understand services of people.
In my opinion you "have to realize" this is such a short sighted approach. I don't think its such a "good idea to help people" if it means helping them to expect tips... so it just becomes what it is like in the US. Or perhaps "these folks" should be grateful for the opportunity.
