tahnanSuppose you took a cab somewhere and the total was $10.50. You decide that $1.50 tip should be about right--pretty close to 15%, and a good round number. Unfortunately, all you have is a $20, so you give that to the driver and ask for $8 back.
Now, suppose that the driver only has a ten and six ones. Do you:
(a) Shrug and take the six ones. Overtipping is a risk of taking a cab.
(b) Take the six ones, quietly note the cab number, and call in a complaint. Cabbies should have the right change.
(c) Insist on taking the ten. It's the cab driver's problem if he doesn't have change for you.
(I hate cabs.)
