[/qb][/QUOTE]I do the same with taxis. I carry $1/US bills. If they're fair with me, I pay them what the ride is worth and a tip - then I hand them a dollar bill. If they're not fair, they get what the trip is worth and nothing more. Overpaying them reinforces bad behavior, which is why I won't do it. [/qb][/QUOTE]Exactly! If they are real good and put the AC on and switch to Nile Fm without being asked I get their numbers and pass it on to friends as well who look for decent drivers for day trips out. We will never condition the bad element, and we cannot control the tourists but we can sure as hell condition some of them to realise that decency will gain respect :) My Egyptian friends have also told me that we should tip the black cans more as the white cabs make a good profit ffrom their advertising on the side of the cars. I love the black cans though, windows down and all that... [/QB][/QUOTE]
