All your quoted tips should also be in Mexican pesos.

One day you have heaps, the next day all you have is a $200 note, which are difficult to change. However good hotels can often break the bigger notes down.

Additionally those who are hired for specific jobs (tree trimming etc) might be deserving of a little more than you contracted for.

It will make you feel good inside.

These folks do a really good job. They do not receive a salary and are working to supplement their pension, and the generosity of patrons shopping at the stores is greatly appreciated.
