Yes! People have to get real. 100 pesos in the example is just 10 cents. NO one can argue against tipping a waiter or server 10% or more. If you can't tip a worker at least 10% then do NOT eat out at all. I can't believe how cheap some people are. People that are generous should feel happy to tip locals.But let's get real. That 100 peso propina is just 10 US cents! I don't think that being generous a few times will create unreasonable expectations for locals! I think all servers expect locals to be very cheap and not tip well and they will be extra appreciative when they get a generous foreigner or expat that is generous. That isn't going to cause them to expect that from everyone as they just assume that hell would freeze over before locals left them 20% tip! If you don't want to tip generously don't.
