Taxi Driver Online

Arrived at the £500K "barn conversion" after being talked in cos its so remote, waited 10+ minutes while sir and madam condoned to come out and get in the car, put the meter on T2.....£14.98 so i asked for £14 to tempt the tip, he handed me a £20 and waited while i counted out £6 ......

And you will get back "how come it was only fourteen pound last time" in my experience there is nothing to gain by undercharging he's a tight git and probably never tipped in his life plus any other driver will now struggle to get him to pay the right amount.

You don't get to own a 500k home by giving money away.

probably in debt up to his eyeballs and has to be tight with his wad to afford to keep on top and still live the lifestyle. In my experience the ones that demand the biggest discounts are the wealthiest. We have one round here he's a multimillionnaire property developer but expects taxis to take him to the airport to fly out to the Caribbean half price !!!!

You have a meter that counts in pennies?

Grandad,

I only thought afterwards, his house was one way from base <<<<< and a £6.50 fixed price, the drop was the opposite way >>>>> and a £6 fixed price and normally the base just adds the 2 together

Back around 14 years ago two of us were sent to a job about 7 miles away ( a Country House Hotel), they were going onto a countryside restaurant. Unfortunately the office b i t c h had not mentioned that to go the half a mile further up the road included the mileage coming out! They did not want to pay.....so it was goodbye.

i concur,i waited for a wife today fumbling in her bag for 20p ffs, it wasn't the 20p, it was the principle, i always insist they pay what's on the meter fook the tips, they are a bonus, still never replied how he managed to get £14.98 on the meter though

Just saw £14.99 on it at T1 so it doesnt comes a shock...
