Dude when I was on holiday there, I was in a cab, before paid to get out the driver said, "listen mate, I understand your a brit, but in OZ we don't accept tips, it's not the done thing, so just pay the bill as is"
I replied, "back home we tip cabbies, I'd feel kinda bad if I don't because we had a good chat and you talked me around town as you where driving" I gave him a 20 and said to keep the change.
He was cool about it.
The attitude is, "just pay me for doing my job, nothing more nothing less" If I haven't done my job properly, still pay up, but complain to my boss. If I've done good tell my boss, and I'll get better than a tip
