Taxi Driver Online

Stunned at lack of help from Wirral taxi drivers


I HAVE in the last week damaged my muscle and ligaments in my left leg, although normally I am active and fit at 65 years old.

Unable to drive at the moment and still in some pain moving my leg, I have had to get taxis on five separate occasions this week. I have been "stunned" at the unhelpfulness of drivers.

I have told the operator in advance that I will be slow getting in and out of the car and walking to it.

Each driver has stayed sitting in his seat; hardly looked at me and four of them just moaned about their jobs.

Nobody opened the door for me and one man "tutted" as I struggled to get my leg in to the car with minimum pain.

I stupidly gave them a tip although now I am sorry I did.

It seems to be a habit to give drivers a tip for taking us somewhere rather than for the service they give.

I feel sorry for people who permanently rely on taxis. I'm sure not all drivers are like this; at least I pray they are not.

CW by email.

Didn't know you'd moved to the Wirral ?

for Wirral read almost anywhere in the UK it is something I am constantly stressing to my drivers many customers NEED help it should be part of the service and also speeds up the job a bit of assistance can cut the time it takes to load and unload as well as getting you a good name !!

But of course many drivers consider themselves as being a put upon worker not a service provider
