I know it has been done to death, but what do you do ? For the new members , when you get tthrough customs etc. at the Airport your cases are usually dragged off the belts by the baggage boys then placed to one side, nightmare if you didn`t know about this as you are looking for your bags when they are already off then you have to go through the rigmorole of fighting for your bags once you have found them. The reason they are so quick is so that they can carry your bag to the coach and expect a £1 coin for a tip.

Now back to the original point behind the post, do you give them £1 bearing in mind that they do about 15-20 of these a day or do you, if able, carry your own ? or how do you get around this problem ?

I personally carry my own but it really pains me to see these greedy little urchins taking pound coins left right and centre when in my mind I know that the people who work on the roads and in other various tourist jobs would be lucky to get what these guys get in a week let alone a day Problem is you have just arrived have no rupees (unless your a regular) and you can`t really not give anything for their services, so you are compelled to pay them at least £1 which is far too much.

I don`t really have any answers to this dilemma and was wondering what everyone else does that would be a better option
