Best Tippers: Just the truth...Young Mexicans. No, I don’t know why.
Next Best: Whites. Very close to Mexicans.
WORST tippers: blacks. Really 90 percent NON tippers.
Hispanic non Mexicans..pretty good...not nearly as bad as blacks.
My stomach SANK every time black folks got in the car.
I think the young mexican guys feel like they are loaded and try to impress. That is my thinking for their big tips. Plus maybe they don’t understand how much they’re tipping :)
Gays tend to be good tippers as well, since many worked as waiters themselves.
Me too. I bet young Mexicans tip more because many of them are super hard workers, including doing lots of menial
service jobs. They’ve been on the other end so they know how much it means to get a tip. Maybe I give them too much credit.
I spent a summer cabbing in Boston. Very few Mexicans there in those days but most blacks did not tip and I got nervous about where they might be going. Could I get back out of certain neighborhoods alive? I got mugged on my last day of work. A couple of other drivers were robbed and murdered in the early 70’s.
