The times I've been to the US I have had good service 50% of the time, the other 50% its been shit, but it feels like you have to tip no matter what. I can understand tipping at restaurants, but I dont understand why you have to tip cab drivers? They get really shitty if you dont tip, even if they did nothing for you, half of them dont even say hello! Shit, in Australia if you give them a couple of bucks they will say thank you multiple times as you leave the car.

here is a clue in on cabbie tiping
cabbies make SHIT money on averge
the cab company or the lease of the cab can take up to 60% of the fare THEN they still have to pay gas on top of that and some even still have to pay thier own insurance
$1 tip for a cabbie is good on up to a 15-20 fare
$2-3 for more
nothing really big
ITS A NICE THING TO DO!
