I had a taxi driver in Vegas who took me to my hotel from the airport. The fare was $24.90 and I handed him $40. He gave me ten back and I said that was good to which he responded "Are you sure you don't want the dime?" in a really snotty voice. I told him that he only gave me 10 back and he claimed that was because I gave him $30 instead of $40 even though he still had my 20's in his hand and the math didn't make sense either way. So he gave me the 5 and made the same snotty remark about wanting my 10 cents back. As I walked away he told me that unlike in Canada it is customary to tip in the States if you have received a service. I wanted to tell him off but went inside instead.

I don't mind that he screwed up the change but his attitude towards my initial tip and lack of remorse when he realized his mistake pissed me off so he got no tip.
