The idea of incorporating tips into something like cabs is so [censored] stupid.

They have little, if any input into the quality of service you're provided. They either get you there, or they dont. Is the tip a 'thank you' for not getting scammed, robbed or having your face smashed in? Or - i suppose, the ones who go above and beyond and actually say "how are you doing?" when you get in the cab as opposed to grunting ought to be compensated for their efforts... 20% minimum.


I tip 2 bucks (plus change to round up) for typical short rides around the strip because it isnt worth the potential confrontation with the pieces of [censored] who would actually confront you if you, god forbid, only gave a $1 tip on a $7 cab ride.

That's actually a more delicate/classy way for the server to handle the process, I agree, but iI don't think the more-forward route is out-of-line in the restaurant business.

It's out of line when not needing change implies a 33% tip, like in the example.

I dont know of anywhere where 33% is even close to normal.

And any waiter/waitress who provided service that would warrant a 33% tip wouldnt ask that question.
