Tipping advice for Belek trip

[D-S]

When we go, as a large group to Spain, one of our group always gives the head barman a decent sized tip for him and his staff on the first night. Unsurprisingly we get very good service and a few times access on all-inclusive to drinks that would normally not be in our package.
Similarly we have tipped the caddie master in Morocco on the first day at the course we were staying on and playing a few times, clubs got cleaned every day and we were allowed to jump in ahead of a large group one day.
Tip big and tip early is not a bad motto.

For those who do tip, do you also tip the same people in this country? I know it isn't the norm in the UK, but why do you feel you need to in other countries? (USA aside, as you are likely to get shot if you don't tip!)

I would always tip anyone who cleans my room no matter what country I was in.

The starter? This one seems weird to me. What's the logic on that?

I suppose it depends on your outlook to tipping. If you only tip to get something back, then probably no logic at all.

I support tipping in any country. Most of the people you tip arte on crap wages and tips make a difference.

The Turkish love sterling/euro, as many foreign worker do, and if in an all inclusive, I'll get on my sunbed by the pool, tip the waiter a tenner at the start of the day and we want for nothing.

Taxi tipping is long gone since Uber came on the scene, albeit you can, but they're all miserable anyway.

America is different in that they'll tell you what they expect as a tip and frown if you don't

I asked what the logic was, not why it would make no logical sense from one specific perspective on tipping.

For the record I'm not a fan of tipping to get better service than would be otherwise provided.

I think looking at tipping as a donation is a good perspective. Hopefully makes everyone involved feel better.

It could be said that America was founded on avoiding taxes and tipping is a way for business owners to avoid some taxes.
