Already A Regular

I was just amused at how far a tip goes in Istanbul.  I visited Metropolis Cafe and Restaurant, which is the restaurant associated with my hostel that is just around the corner, for the second night in a row.  Last night when I had left, I left a 4 Lira tip on a 13 Lira bill (tip was less than 3 dollars).  Tonight when I went in, they remembered my name, what I ordered, etc.  I even got larger beers for regular price, more flat bread (which is amazing) to go with my soup (also amazing), and a 30% discount, all for what I believe is the fact that I tipped.  Perfect night out.
