Since I live in the US I have a different perspective of tipping, as it is normal here and the service industry relies on tipping as part of their salary to survive. The staff at Malio dont make much money there, less than 50k/day. So If you can afford to open bottles and fuck girls at Malio, you shouldn't be so stingy to complain about small tips totalling only $10-15. If that small amount of money honestly bothers you, you should go to Classic instead where you won't be harassed.
Generally, I keep track of my main sofa waiters and give each abt 50k at end of night for serving/pouring drinks and prevent boliao gers invade my space looking for LDs (some times more if they are very good). For other random waiters who just do small things, I keep small 10k/20k notes for them if I like them. Doormen, and pushy/greedy waiters who ask for tips for doing nothing I ignore.
Difficult to avoid staff looking for tips at Malio, especially if you sit sofa, but that's the price you have to pay to have fun there in a classy environment. But if your mentality is that paying a small $ of tips is going to ruin your evening, you shouldn't go there at all. There are many other budget options you could goto instead.
