Default Re: Why are Las Vegas cabbies so weird about tips?

i am still shocked that the dealer for the farha/aba matchup in bobbys room and wrote about how they didnt tip her on her blog has a job. She should have been fired the next morning imo.

If this were some normal occurrence or this dealer is always bitching about not getting tipped I might agree with you. But it's just rude to sit there and flip for $100k then stiff the dealer. They deserve to be called out on it if that's how it really happened.

There seems to be a huge huge attitude gap here between the 2p2ers that empathize with service employees who expect tips as part of their income, and those who want to keep tipping some sort of hush hush under-the-table thing that we don't speak about in public. I'm guessing it breaks down something alontg the lines of people who once worked a tip job, and possibly people who don't tip all that well.

For better or for worse, a lot of people have come to *expect* tips as part of their income. You can't put the genie back in the bottle and ask them not to get a little bothered when they get stiffed in an obvious tipping situation.
