Dude. You must be a US or Canada Viet Kieu, as you are generally IMHO more generous than the European or Australian VKs. No offence MC. :D

You are a previous customer of Girl 3. Girl 3 moves to a new place of work and brings you, her ex customer, over to the new place of work as a paying customer. You should not have to 'tip' her anything in this case. The new establishment already knows she can bring over ex customers like you. Her 'tip' is already in your expenditure that night.

I debated with myself on whether you should have tipped Girl 1 since its not your problem she got an early period. Since you did have your way with your hands I suppose it would be gracious to pay her the full expected sitting fee.

Given the way the Manager handled customer service with you, I would not have tipped him a single dong. You are the customer. Him, the girls, everyone working in the establishment is there to provide you a service. Too bad that she had to 'walk back and forth', but it was because she got her period early. So was the cheeky bastard trying to blame that on you? A more customer-oriented Manager (rare in Vietnam but can be trained by not supporting tipping for bad service as an example) would apologize for the inconvenience to you, the customer, at having to switch girls in between due to an unforeseen circumstance. In this case, I would happily agree that he deserves his VND 200k tip. So based on how the events unfolded as you described, I would simply smile, say nothing and offer no tip to him before walking out.

So all in all you spent VND 2.2 M but could have justifiably IMO gotten away with spending VND 1.8 M.
