What happens when you tip somebody?

 The very first time we went to MaxMart, Jeffrey tipped the security guards (actually the same guards that were here two years ago) about 100 cedis. That is around $6. Overpriced, but fair because they do not get much. After he stopped going and I have gone with other sisters, I have kept up the same tipping. Three security guards each with 100 cedis.

Guess what happens when you over tip? One, they know the car. When we went to Utah, the Braunbergers used our car and the guards KNEW someone else had been in my car. They let me know when I got back. Two, we get a reserved spot in front of the store. I hadn't really noticed that it is exactly in front of the store until I looked out the window the other day and realized just what a convenient spot it is for me. I just jump out and walk into the store. I've been laughing inside at how money talks.
