| - Got a cab from the airport. Everything I read estimated a $10-12 ride to the Luxor but our fare was $25 after the $2 airport exit fee and $3 credit card charge. That didn't bother me so much. The driver started off nice and the ride was fine. But, THEN...
The ride ends and I go to slide my card in the backseat terminal. I slide and sign and a receipt comes out. The driver gets out and gives me my receipt and says, "Thank you for the zero-percent tip." And I say, "What? I'm sorry. It didn't ask me!" He says, "Yes, it did. You selected zero!" I slide back in to the backseat to see if the tip screen is up. It's not. I get out and repeat, "I meant to leave a tip. It didn't ask me." He says, "Yes, it did! You are very cheap. That's very rude!"
I've NEVER ridden in a cab without leaving a tip. And had the driver simply said, "Thank you for your business. Just so you know, this doesn't include gratuity," he would have received a tip in cash. Instead, the hot-headed jerk yelled at us and left.
