Taxi Driver Online :: View topic - The Phone calls I really hate

Just had one of those phone calls that makes you feel awful from a driver that has been working with 1,3,5 sweetie shop cabs.

basically he drives a Huntingdon plated car working PH off their board but barely speaks English and I suspect was one of the drivers clobbered the other weekend. He was BEGGING me for a job even though I tried explaining to him that i have enough drivers and don't need more because i don't dilute earnings by overcrowding the board. He even offered to pay a higher board rent than my existing drivers out of desperation . It always makes me feel awful having to be cruel like that but I have always operated with enough drivers for our workload not too many but it does make you feel very uncomfortable on the phone and afterwards
