For First Randoli stool vendors, do people tip on top of the seat price, or is the quoted fee all-in. Not asking about guide gratuity customs.

Quoted seat fee is usually all-in. A small extra is kind if they held the spot or helped with kids, but it is not a mandatory second charge.

Confirm once in Sinhala or English before sitting. Clear price now prevents awkwardness later.

If someone needs a clearer sightline for accessibility reasons, ask politely — vendors often shuffle one seat without a tip drama.
