Fact is, "overtipping" is a sad problem with people from "the first world"...
It is not that these people should stop being generous.
But, if local "baggage porters" only help the foreigners, they refuse to assist their own people.
Was discussing about this problem with a Cuban in Havana, recently.
Go anywhere as a tourist, stores, restaurants, you are served first.
If you are Cuban, you are last... If not too busy with the foreigners.

Do not overtip in poor nations.
Whenever possible, offer gifts, such as a meal.
In Havana, I sometimes hire a taxi for the evening. The driver is our guest at the restaurant.
Same driver, all our crews use him. Big Chevrolet BelAir 1958...
And he gets... a small tip, i.e. $3.oo for being with us from 8 to 11 pm...
