Positive Taxi story

Hear so many stories about long hauling, bad taxi experiences, thought I would share this story from today's paper.

I would have to agree with his friends. That tip was way too small.

 

It's nice to hear a great story about a cab driver in Vegas. But a 1% tip in Vegas is a slap in the face. It's hardly a thank you - it's downright rude IMO.

 

at least $10k would be more reasonable.

 

If I had won over $200,000 there is no way in hell I would be taking a cab to the airport.

 

He gave the man a $2,000 finders fee,or tip if you want to call it that. Very generous I think. All the guy did was do what he should do with lost items. Turn it in.

I think it is totally ignorant to put this in perspective of being 1%. This is not about percentage.

Of course, I think tipping 20% on a dinner that should have cost $100 but in Vegas costs $400.... but that is another story in itself. I generally tip 20%, sometimes better on less expensive meals.

 

First off, why is a guy carrying that much cash? Can't take some in a check? I've carried $20,000 before, and even that was nerve wracking...found myself checking my stuff every half hour even when I was on the plane.

And to be dumb enough to lose it.

$2,000 tip isn't enough.

 

Agreed. The comment about 15-20 percent is ridiculous. But two grand is seriously weak…hope the gambling gods are watching that cheap bastard!

 

Well said..
