Taxi fares up?

Foreigners tipping for no reason is what causes the taxi unions to seek rate hikes just before the tourist season. If they unload your groceries it's one thing. If they just drive you from point A to point B it's another.

We have been going to Ixtapa for over 20 years and generally tip everyone whether it is the waiter,cab driver or merchant as well as give to charities.
We always thought that we were helping people but maybe we are just hurting them is that what you are saying? Please let me know we don't want to do more harm than good.
