In the case of police officers, offering gratuity can be viewed as bribery; giving money to journalists or disc jockeys is seen as ‘payola’ and some hotels discourage the practice of tipping in Jamaica as some employees go too far and actually harass guests when tips are not given or if it is not the amount they expected.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Which brings us back to whether tipping is really practised in Jamaica. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Tipping is still being done in restaurants and salons as these are service industries where the most satisfaction is derived – from eating good food and looking pretty. Its popularity, however, may be on the decline for two reasons.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>To put it simply, ‘nuh money nah run’. One cannot tip what one does not have. Another reason is that the attitude of some service providers turn off customers when they get demanding. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>For some, it is almost as if their arms are being twisted to give regardless of if they are satisfied with a service or not. While they would love to be able to tip lavishly, their pockets cannot afford to make it happen every time and service providers need to understand that it is the customers’ right to give at their own discretion.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If you have no problem brightening some one’s day, then give a little ‘supm supm’ to your hairdresser, supermarket bag handler, driver, bartender, musician etc. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>And while restaurants may have a service charge, still slip the waiter/waitress something as not all establishments actually give their workers the money they charge you.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Let us know at <strong>BUZZ</strong>.

Why\nnot use it instead as the perfect time to enrich your mind or provide\nentertainment that helps to de-stress. The range of podcasts available now are\nvirtually endless and there’s something for everyone – for every hour of the\nday: current affairs, technology, nutrition, motivation, comedy,\nlanguage-learning – you name it!

If you are at a stoplight or in a standstill, pull up the handbrake, and do a few quick stretches for your shoulders, neck, back and hands. Not only will this be useful in getting the blood and oxygen flowing to the right places, but also allowing you to remain relaxed and alert.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4>Carpool karaoke on steroids</h4>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":5741} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https://buzz-caribbean.com/app/uploads/2019/08/singing-in-car.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5741\" /></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>We’ve all done it!
