Just return $10 to me.

Basically, this is about how to tip. I am seeking the right thing to say when tipping.

1. When finishing using a taxi, if the fee is like $8 or so and I have $20 bill with me, I usually will pass the money to the driver and say something like this: Please just return $10 to me. Of course, by saying so I am willing to tip $2 or so. But I just do not think the saying is quite popular or normal. May I know what you would say or do in such a situation?

2. How to tip when someone deliver a heavy funiture (bought from a store) and move it into your residence? I kind of do not think the 15% rule applies here. 

Thanks a lot for your advise.

2. I agree that the 15% rule doesn't apply. I guess it just depends on the job. If I paid the store a delivery charge, I wouldn't be overly generous.

Philip, Sorry. I should have said thank you to you. It's just that I was looking at something written by Clive when looking at yours.
