Just my two cents..

Based on some of the FRs, I totally think some bros could try to reconsider how much they tip.
Yes, we enjoyed the service. Yes, we have money. Yes, we are on holiday and feel the urge to spend (applicable to most bros right?).
But consider the culture differences, and especially the average wage differences.

Bros, if you are visiting local hidden places, please don't tip like a boss. I encourage you to tip like a happy local. Please don't spoil market for others who wish to retain the authenticity (and prices!) of local delights. I don't mention how much exactly because it's all subjective to place/service/girl/etc.

Many many times have I been "scammed" in HCM. Be it by girls, men, taxis, the smiling grandma selling food on the street, etc. Once they know I am not Vietnamese, they don't return my change or they jack up the price or they ask for more tips. Now I know this is not the case all the time but it's enough times to make it extremely annoying and off putting for tourists to enjoy Vietnam. There is no good reason for further overhanded tipping. This only pushes up their greed for the next customer.
Thanks.
