Excellent thinking. But if a kiwi does you a favour and you shout him a beer
at the nearest bar, he will probably insist on paying for the next
round.....

I guess it is a cultural thing, where the attitude to tipping differs
between here and the US, but the attitude to beer is likely to be pretty
damn similar.

Recently returned from Tonga, where you don't tip either, unless it is out
of your kayak.
