I re-checked the tipping "suggestions" which appear in the various weekly guides one finds in your hotel room. And even with (what I consider) extravagant suggestions in some cases, only states 15% for taxis and does not mention a minimum.
But in any event, since a tip is a voluntary thing (otherwise it would be part of the price), the driver should NOT have made demands and made derogatory slurs at me.
