| Baksheesh | ||
The
favour may mean opening a door, carrying a bag or pressing a button in an
elevator. The expectation of a tip is obvious because Allah gives the right.
The amount of baksheesh must be adjusted according to the extent
and the performance of the service. It must be delivered with discretion,
like a folded bill or some coins handed over in passing, by a casual backward
turning of the hand. |
