Here you go buddy "keep the change"

I just read a story from Myrtle Beach, SC, on tipping cab drivers, it talks about people giving the driver $700 for a $680 ride and telling them to "keep the change".

The writer Linda Sullivan challenges her readers to try giving a 20 cent tip to a waiter or bartender and see the looks you get.

It also talks about the hours a driver spends behind the wheel each day, and how little they end up with for all those hours.

The story is titled "Cab drivers worthy of decent tips" you can read the story at: http://www.thesunnews.com/opinion/story/1033835.html

Reading this reminds me of something that happend about 10 years ago, I had picked someone up in the gate and to him on a ride that was $305 and the guy asked me if I wanted the nickle, after thinking for a second I asked him if it was $ 295 would he want the nickle?

He answered yeah sure, and then thought about it and said no, I told him too late first answer was yeah so I want it also, a tip whats that. =)
