Originally posted by SalParadise:$11. If the two zones are long zones, as in it's a 20 minute trip, I'll give $12 or more. (When I used to cab from Woodley Park to Capital Hill, it's only two zones but a long as hell drive – I tip more for that, it only made sense).
same thing but pertaining to cabfare:
DC cabs went up again. $9.10 is the price now for 1 passenger and 2 zones travelled.
do you give $11 or leave a $.90 tip?
how much do u TIP per drink?

Hello, you knew you were going to dinner, couldn't you get some cash on the way over??
Easiest way for you to take care of your bartender and get good service AND get remembered the next time is to start a tab and get the bartender's name. Please and thank you also are notable.
Actually, that's a good question for folks on here who are or have been servers. This new allowance for multiple credit cards – is it a huge pain, or really acceptable?
I put everything on my credit card, even $7 lunches, for one simple reason. Bonus miles. I've been able to take four free domestic round trip flight in the past four years (and have a fifth alreay earned), mainly because I use my credit card. What is the point of cash?
I'm guilty of this, except I use a debit card. My most recent achievement was putting a .97 bagel on my debit card.

Originally posted by Bags:the five credit cards at dinner is annoying, but a card for $7 lunches and the like is better I think, no time wasted making change, better yet, i dont have to carry around all that damn change, I bet a lot of places where its one person paying at a time prefer cards

Originally posted by p011@rd:I agree…the real peeve is the five credit cards issue. It's usually the same people though, as they've gotten use to the no cash wallet scenario.
