Just read a story about a NY cabbie who, after considerable effort, tracked down a woman who left a bag with 31 diamond (!) rings in the trunk. She gave him a $100 tip- which he accepted as compensation for the fares he lost while tracking her down. Evidently she gave him all of a 30 cent tip on her $11 cab ride.
While the driver was evidently just pleased to return the bag, how would you feel if, on top of an insulting 30 cent tip your considerable effort to return what must have been at least 30 grand worth of diamond rings negligently left by someone in your cab you receive a "reward" that essentially just covers your expenses? How likely would you be to do a "good deed" in the future, and are people like this woman responsible for the current state of "customer service" in the U.S.?
