Look at them in the background haggling with the taxi driver! Do these people have no shame?

In many places and countries it is common to haggle the prices unless they are posted. Always used the simple rule. The lower the price the bigger the tip, the higher the price the lower the tip. Of course, the service provided could alway lower or raise the tip. Nice photo for it captures the whole story. Mahalo for sharing.

I still don't get it but then, maybe I am just dense.

I think irony can be a cultural thing and is often lost in translation. Just because you don't "get it" doesn't mean you're dense.

"the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect"

The only irony I see is why you are not hoofing it instead of getting some skinny little guy push you around.
