Thanks for agreeing with my sarcasm. It does work rather well though. I bet no one else tips the mechanics like this. And no one else gets stuff done for free. My mother would have said not to say this in public. She was always right of course! 5555
But that would require a brain. Actually I use them at the drinks machine at the car dealer. The mechanics love the Singha lemon sodas. They love me too it seems. Half the time they fix things for free. Coins are fantastic for keeping people happy. But a lot of people don’t understand social skills.
Everyone over 70 gets - its very useful. Same when leaving. Even better in many ways. Most of the advice here is totally superfluous. They don’t seem to know. Wheelchairs can be helpful too of course. And that’s for anyone.
Problem is that many mothers ship their kids to their own mother for ever and basically don’t care. Well I wouldn’t say don’t care as that’s not really fair. It’s economics. But it happens and the embassy knows it.
