Anyone else ever work a job that tipping is a huge part of your income? AreAfrican-American people the worst tippers for you as well?

Good point only the tip percentage would matter. The tip amount is meaningless.

Most of the fares paid with a $20, and usually they will ask for something like $5 back, or nothing at all and to just keep it.

The big tips were $12.89 fares.... Most of the other tips were fares under $10. Like the $2.13 were $7.87

The Black females I remember clearly were going from the Stratosphere to Mixx at Mandalay Bay and their fare was $14.13.

The cheapest tip was the Hispanic female, which really pissed me off..... Waited in the cab line almost an hour at the Palms, and she was only going to the Rio. Her fare was $4.81, and she threw me a $5.

Do you get a base salary or is entire income nothing but tips. I thought cab drivers were Independant 1099 contractors.

In Vegas, you have to work for a company, not able to lease or own your own cab. 3 companies own around 90% of all the cabs in Vegas.

Depending on the company you make anywhere from 30-40% of the meter as a commission, minus Taxi authority Fee's ($0.30 per ride), minus fee's for getting a trip sheet ($16 charge before you even get in the cab that day), And paying for gas at the end of the night, which must be FULL for the next driver.

Maybe only poor people are taking cabs nowadays. Haven't Uber and Lyft basically made cabs obsolete?

The cab companies in Vegas had UBER and LYFT banned in Vegas

couldn't help but remember this thread after with what I saw this morning...been on a month long trip... Been in Dallas this week visiting daughter and a old friend of mine.. Stayed at the Embassy Suites here in Dallas the last 3 nights...First two nights pretty much the usual clientele you would get in a pretty nice hotel..Well last night everything changed... Must have been " Affirmative Action " going on here of some kind...We have blacks and there families pretty much making up 75% of the occupancy here imo. pretty much a 180 from the two previous nights....My guess is most were out there element here.. This hotel offers a upscale type of continental free breakfast with a chef cooking and serving up omlettes. That for me is where it got interesting....Got in a line about 8 deep to get myself an omelet. I watched 1 black person after another grab there fresh cooked omlette and ignore the tip plate....Every last one of them passed by that plate..I made sure I said it loud enough to the chef " here you go " when I dropped a couple of bucks onto his plate...Black woman after me still didn't offer up...White dude next did and another white guy 3 people ahead of me did too.. Pretty embarrassing if you ask me. just reporting from Dallas....out !

I cant help it I have to speak.

They ruin everything. They ruin going out( people go out of their way to avoid sitting near them but will never admit it), they can't speak the English language, are overly loud and obnoxious, are either bald or have greasy hair, they cant tip, they have ruined basketball, have ruined numerous school systems, riot, have ruined music, have no self control, act like going to prison is a part of everyday life, bitch about everything until a law is passed where they get their way, have ruined unemployment, have ruined Medicare, get everyone pregnant, are the reason for inflation, have ruined the Democratic process, and white girls are guilted into dating these prisoners. Notice how the white girls life declines once she gets involved with another species. I have told off so many of these skanks and all they can ever refute is "that's racist" "no bitch, it's the truth". There is a reason why Africa has been a shithole since the beginning of time. How is Somalia doing? Sadly, the solution is so very simple too.

Is there 1 place on Earth where they are the majority of the population that is not a shithole?

Rant over

What was I suppose to do..pass by the plate and leave nothing ? If this is shaming them ? Great they need some shaming..probably got a big discount on the rooms but can't tip a buck or two to someone serving them .. fuck that !

On lighter side. This is just too damn funny. Notice how they have little self control, are ugly, bald, and just cant help but chimp out before the hosts even gets to them. Imagine waiting on them at a restaurant. The poor guy cant even get the question out before they interrupt him. And they are so confident the answer is Africa or Europe. LOL.

And 1 more thing, why in the hell do they have to walk so slow; like they try to look cool just when walking out of a CVS Pharmacy. As if anyone is paying attention. They have to try to look "cool" no matter what they are doing... And stop saying "sup". What happened to "hello" or "hi" or "how have you been"? And why do they always have nicknames or named after some tribe? "Yo dog, this is killa stash"

Guarantee you, if Dwight Howard had the choice to hit 100% of his free throws underhanded, he wouldn't take it because he wouldn't look "cool"

Since this got bumped, I'll post a story from just last night.

Around 3am'ish, Im at the Palms, 1 cab in front of me in line. This large black woman comes out of the door and starts towards the taxi line. She talks to the doorman for a second, and the doorman signals the cab in front of me to move up. That cab puts it in drive, and moves forward, continuing to move, and drives right past them haha...

So now, Im up, and I pull up and stop. Doorman tells me she is going to Ceasars Palace as she is getting in. So she gets in and I start the meter. Im nice and cordial and doing small talk. So we go over the freeway, and Im heading to turn left on Las Vegas BLVD, and as we pass the side entrance (NoBu Private Entrance), and she starts hollering "What r you doing, that's ceasars!! You is trying to cost me more money!"... I try and explain to her that the side entrance is for VIP's High Rollers and invited guests staying at Ceasars... She still continues to argue that Im trying to rip her off, and goes into a mini rage saying "Im calling your company to complain you are tryin to rip me off and steal my money" and asks for my companies phone # and such.

So we pull up to the VIP entrance, and the doorman opens her door. At this time the fare is a whole $8.14. She gives me $10.25 and wants $2 back (yay an $0.11 tip!!). So I give her the $2, and as soon as I am done doing that the doorman asks for her Players card or Room key (At this point Im waiting to see what happens, so I pretend im filling out my trip sheet). She shows him her room key, and he asks if she has a players card, which she says she doesn't. The doorman goes on to try and explain what that entrance is for, etc, just like I did. And then advised her she needs to go to the main entrance off of Las Vegas BLVD. At this point I lock my doors and the doorman tries to open the door to put her back in to drive her to the front... I tell him "Im good", and drive off. Looking in the rearview mirror, I started to feel bad for the doorman, as she is now 100% his problem, and with no cabs waiting at that entrance, he has to run out to Flamingo Road and try to hail a cab to come inside, to take her on a $5 ride around the corner to the front main entrance.... I also pity the cab driver that gets that ride.

BTW, that was my only black rider all night, and the only one that questioned where I was taking them, and left the smallest tip.

I couldn't do it. Why do you mess with these fools. You are a 60% plus capper in football where there is never a max. I'm serious. I couldn't do it for a week. I rather work at Taco Bell

My wife works for one of the big Casinos, and she says the Bikers that come every summer are the best tippers.

Bikers do tip rather well, as do the Cowboys that come in for the Rodeo and Helldorado Days.
