Why are Las Vegas cabbies so weird about tips?

reno: "Thus, a $10.75 cab ride and a $12.50 cab ride both "cost" $15" WTF? No. Now, I will often tip cabbies a lot in Vegas, because I tip everyone a lot. Like, cocktail waitresses, I tip them $5/drink standard. But, whatever, it's Vegas and I'm overtipping on purpose. Really, your statement makes no sense at all. How did you arbitrarily come up w/ $5 as the increment of cash that counts? Why don't they both cost $20? You are making absolutely no sense at all. What if you just have a $20 and the cab fare is $10 or $14. How much change do you ask for in each of those situations? Or do you just give him $20?

Hmmm. I take cabs rarely. When I do, I overtip. I also overtip waiters-- their job is difficult and thankless.

What I meant to say was it depends how much small cash I have on hand. I don't want to be a douche and ask for $2 back from a $20 on a $14 cab fare. You should get the point El D.
