Hey Kat.
Was gr8 meeting you. You keep in touch babe.
Well - cab drivers suck most of the time.
I had a ride with a can. Meter showed $9.10 so I gave her $10 (feeling its some what a small tip but wtf..)
anyway - the cab driver shouted out "Well.. How typical"
I didn't know what was wrong so - the caring person I am - I asked
She said "Ho.. Never mind" in a grumpy voice.
Caring as I will always be, I asked "What? whats typical"
"Well, its like only 90 cents, you do realize that?"
I ended up giving her another dollar cause it seemed it was worth much more to her than to me - you should have seen the content look she had when revieving the extra dollar..
Well - I do realize one is expected to tip like 15% or something, but to actively and loudly complain when being given ONLY 10% - is that a regular thing over there in Vegas?
