You could have a reality show. I took a cab around Las Vegas for my buddies bachelor party. We were the loud ones screaming out the window. I guess we deserved some of the treatment we received from the cab driver. We had our golf bags packed in the cab and wanted look for <a href="http://www.lvteetimes.com/" rel="nofollow">Las Vegas Golf Courses</a> . We pulled up to Angle Park extremely excited, still being very loud. We then took all of our bags out of the trunk and went on to an assumed great day of fun. It turns out my sand wedge fell out of my bag and my buddy didn't see it in the trunk. Now my sand wedge is probably in some cabbie's house. I hope he enjoys my expensive club.

Unfortunately, my experience with Las Vegas cabbies have been horrendous - rude, smelly, long-haul kings...where does the list stop??? I do several visits a year and gladly pay over a $100 more per visit to use a rental car rather than cabs, just so I don't have to associate with the 90% of Las Vegas cabbies who are absolute scum. <br /><br />Regards,<br />Rental Car userAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21486842.post-27541133400582275942011-12-04T02:52:08.572-08:002011-12-04T02:52:08.572-08:00Peter

I mean, we've all got it bad in some way or another. In fact, most of us hate our jobs too. But as trite as it sounds, it's up to us to make a change if we dislike our current situation. The way you keep recounting how the woman probably wasn't going to call you back is frankly pathetic. If that deed was actually one of altruism (which you made it out to be at the beginning) you wouldn't constantly be hoping she'd contact you and pay you off. You'd write it off as a GOOD DEED and be done with it, not carry the chip on your shoulder and then worst of all tell your other customers about it. I would probably short you on a tip for that alone, and I'm a very generous tipper. Pity stories are why I dislike cabbies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21486842.post-77537985935522678272011-08-31T07:44:54.662-07:002011-08-31T07:44:54.662-07:00I can't see how driving a taxi in this crazy t...I can't see how driving a taxi in this crazy town, can be anything less than exciting.

Well, I guess he was not happy that I didn't fish out extra chunks while ladling the soup into his bowl, because I got stiffed. It's not racist, just call it experience. It wasn't the first or last time I was stiffed by a brother. I firmly believe that the 4 young black girls knew better than to tip $.30 on a $7.70 fare, I believe they are insolent and its their way of saying "f-you".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21486842.post-65191584120344175992011-08-23T15:54:41.617-07:002011-08-23T15:54:41.617-07:00so what is a good tip?Do i need to tip more on lon...so what is a good tip?Do i need to tip more on longer rides or short ones?if I take cabbie off strip do i need to tip more??or is a $2-$5 tip engough for any ride..fatbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865398794901635217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21486842.post-86680034658519730632011-08-22T19:34:11.565-07:002011-08-22T19:34:11.565-07:00One guy gave you $20, but did it really make a dif...One guy gave you $20, but did it really make a difference any other time? I'd be one of those guys who'd be annoyed by the tale of woe, thinking the cabbie is trying to give me a sob story to guilt me into giving a bigger tip. <br /><br />Your misadventures remind me of how tired I am of the fact that every other person out there is somehow working for tips now. Some people deserve tips, many don't. A good cabbie deserves a tip, no doubt. But if you need a decent tip from me on a $13 or $14 fare, it's a sad world we live in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21486842.post-25835991232471518142011-08-07T20:48:12.056-07:002011-08-07T20:48:12.056-07:00Great writing...
