I tip this guy $2-3 if I actually need his help getting a cab. Example: hotel on side street, I have luggage, doorman attracts cab off of main street to turn and pick me up. I find this situation in San Francisco more often than Chicago or New York.

If is a line of cabs waiting or empty ones passing by every 5 seconds, then I don't tip.
