One can not cover every situation in every post. Of course, extra special service deserves to be rewarded. I think the original post was in regard to general tipping guidelines. That is what I was addressing. If one looks enough, they can find offense where no offense was intended. As far as "throwing away money", I was merely repeating what is apparently the opinion of some Jamaicans. Americans are generally regarded, not just by many Jamaicans, but by tourists from other countries as being rather excessive in their show of tipping.
