Working for tips ("Cielito" or "propinita") is a very big part of the Dominican culture. Sometimes cruising sailors complain about having to give a tip or refer to it as a request for a bribe. It is, however, part of the culture here, so get used to giving a small reward/gift graciously (even if only a couple of beers worth) and if necessary smile nicely and just say 'no'.
Avoid being dismissive or rude if you are asked. Respect and courtesy are highly valued at all levels of Dominican culture.
