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?
$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).

I know a few folks on here think I'm a lush, but I usually don't drink enough for a tab. A pet peeve of mine are folks who never have cash so put everything, even $7 lunches, on their friggin' cards. Or worse, you go to dinner with 6 people and five throw cards in. Hello, you knew you were going to dinner, couldn't you get some cash on the way over??

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.

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

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.
