This approach encourages tipping which is exactly what the OP isn&#x27;t in favour of.<p>IMO all jobs, cab driving included, should be paid well enough that tipping simply isn&#x27;t necessary. Companies shouldn&#x27;t encourage tipping (which is often also tax dodging) just because they don&#x27;t want to pay their employees enough that tipping isn&#x27;t required to sustain them.<p>Having said that, while tipping shouldn&#x27;t be encouraged if somebody does go above and beyond the call of duty for me I&#x27;m going to find a way to reward them. That might be a simple &quot;Thank you so much, that was really nice of you&quot; up to and including paying extra if I can afford to do so and feel it&#x27;s warranted.
