I was walking the other day and saw a familiar sight here in Cuenca.
Many people entertain folks in their cars when they are stopped at a red light. After entertaining them they pass by each car for a tip.
What really amazed me is that this was a daddy working to feed his family. He had his two little girls sitting on the curb. He was pulling double duty...working and baby sitting.
As I crossed the street, I looked back. He was collecting money from the drivers. I wonder if people gave money to him because of his juggling skills or because of his cute little girls?
Love,
Nancy
How much of a tip would he get?? I"m thinking of the "windshield washers" in New York, but I would imagine that Ecuador is different.
ReplyDeleteSince Chuck is driver and I am in charge of handing out change, I try to locate a $1 coin. If we don't have one, we give what we can scrape together. As for other drivers, I do not know. Probably the average is either 25 or 50 cents.
DeleteWhat would you say the average is in NY?
