"Oh, you don't have to tip them, you have paid enough here," said the desk clerk when B asked about the protocol for dealing with the jitney drivers who circulate this sprawling resort. It's about a mile from end-to-end, so one has to rely on these vehicles to get around.
The other morning I ordered one at 7 to take me to the largest pool at the other end of our complex. "Please pick me up 40 minutes later," I said to the driver. "No problem," he replied. Except that I never saw the guy again. Started walking and about half way back another jitney drove by, which I successfully flagged down. I have learned to tip the drivers, they are much more cooperative. Duh!
We are off to Indian Wells, hope to see some top players.....maybe?
