Well in LA people avoid taxis usually,the only taxis my friends use are basically illegal korean ones that are relatively local k-town/central and west LA because they are actually reasonably priced. Otherwise taxis are super fucking expensive because of the distances they generally have to travel in such a big ass city.


Tip for peeps in LA with no car
#1 get a car
#2 learn to use the metro and get a bike/skateboard if so because the metro is not that good you will have to go a couple miles to be where you wanted to go once off the metro! Also,be prepared to pay upwards of 5 dollars or more per trip if you are riding multiple lines or buses(also take advantage of any deals your school has made with the metro,I know SMC definitely does as well as maybe USC or UCLA depending on the line) but students always ride for a dollar instead of a buck fifty
#3 Use services like Über or lyft

Phoenix is like that to.  We grow out, not up, so they are TRYING to expand our metro services but they pretty much suck compared to some of the other big cities.

Taxis here are also insanely expensive.  Just to take a trip 4 miles down the road from my house to work the meter will hit about 13 bucks, then I have to tip on top of that.

I knew it! This totally happened to me in San Francisco. I was with 2 friends, all 3 of us in a cab, and we were charged close to $30 for less than a 10-minute drive only 3 miles away! BS!!! I have taken cab rides in San Francisco numerous times after that, and it costs $30 to go from ONE END of the city all the way to the OTHER END. A couple of miles away should only cost $10-$15, like it has when I took a cab other times.

It's okay, usually I tip taxi drivers, but that time I didn't tip him anything. He literally sucked all the money we had on us (we were only 19 years old at the time and literally all we had was $30 on us put together, I was seriously worried while watching the meter that our cab fare was going to go OVER the amount of money we had on us).

Apparently a lot of people don't know you're supposed to tip cab drivers, who here actually does it? (When they don't rip you off and steal all the cash in your wallet that is.)

I am sure if you refused to pay and just walked out he would likely do nothing and just yell at you. Probably would be too much work to call the cops and the cops wouldn't care. But we were tourists and about to go to a rave so we didn't want any drama or bad vibes to argue.

I just grew up in LA, where I really rarely ever rode a cab. Maybe with my parents to the airport once or twice. I didnt know what the light on or off meant until I was in NYC visitng my brother haha :smilingpuppy:

But I believe anyone in customer service should be tipped, even burger places. I guess those places disagree though. (as in Fast Food, im sure small chains/ resteraunts get their share of tips)

Same here, I didn't know what the lights meant until I visited NYC either.

I love those horse carriages though in NYC. :awesome: That's a flat rate, no way you can get ripped off on one of those.

Yea I agree about fast food workers being tipped. I also tip the person who cuts my hair and the person who does my tattoos. (Apparently a lot of people don't know you're supposed to tip these people)

I personally don't understand why it is customary to tip waiters 15% when you aren't supposed to tip the guy working at McDonald's, or the bus boy, or the line cook. It doesn't make any damn sense.

tips use to be about the quality of service, now it seems it is a mandatory thing, which kinda bugs me..  if the tips are so dang important why arent they putting up big signs everywhere so everyone can see..

I can understand for waiters in some areas, because in a lot of states apparently they make only $2 or $3 an hour. Their real wage comes from customers. But I feel like a lot of waiters feel "entitled" to customer's tips, which is not right. Especially in states like California, they make the state minimum wage, and their job isn't exactly any harder than somebody working at McDonald's or a line cook, who makes no tips.

I still tip very well, because to me, the difference between a bad tip and a good tip is only a couple of dollars difference. But to the person doing the service, it makes a huge difference if I tip $10 instead of $5. So why wouldn't I just give them a few extra bucks, to me that money literally means nothing.
