Tipping has been tough for me at grocery stores. I recently made a decision, but am open to discussion.
A small order, 5p. A large order, 10p. A HUGE order, two carts, 15p. Here in Zihuatenejo, we only have seniors as baggers. We only have two grocery stores in town and several of the baggers recognize us. If they smile and greet us, they get a couple of pesos more. Baggers here do NOT take your groceries out to your vehicle.
We occasionally run into or see tourists tipping the baggers what we consider to be ridiculous amounts-100p. To us that is excessive, but would love to hear other opinions on this.
At a gasoline station, in the RV with a huge fill, 10p tip if they didn't converse or do anything else. If they did the windshield and/or made conversation, 20+p.
Now that we are just filling a vehicle occasionally for around town, it's 10p, we don't get out, hand them the gas cap key, smile, pay, say thanks and tip.
