Simple, Taxi-PH drivers don't stick together!



So you would support businesses where you spend your money sticking together?


No, I'm saying that working in an enviroment where the cheapest cost is the major factor in who gets the business, is in my opinion a receipe for, low driver earnings, longer working hours and lead to low vehicle standards. Just an opinion! :shock:

The wife came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making love to a very attractive young woman and was somewhat upset. "You are a disrespectful pig!" she cried. "How dare you do this to me a faithful wife, the mother of your children! I'm leaving you. I want a divorce straight away!" And the husband replied "Hang on just a minute love, so at least I can tell you what happened."

"Fine, go ahead," she sobbed," but they'll be the last words you'll say to me!" And the husband began -- "Well, I was getting into the car to drive home and this young lady here asked me for a lift. She looked so down and out
and defenseless that I took pity on her and let her into the car. I noticed that she was very thin, not well dressed and very dirty. She told me that she hadn't eaten for three days! So, in my compassion, I brought her home and warmed up the enchiladas I made for you last night, the ones you wouldn't eat because you're afraid you'll put on weight.The poor thing devoured them in moments.

Since she needed a good clean up I suggested a shower, and while she was doing that I noticed her clothes
were dirty and full of holes so I threw them away. Then, as she needed clothes, I gave her the designer jeans that you have had for a few years, but don't use because you say they are too tight. I also gave her the underwear that was your anniversary present, which you don't use because I don't have good taste. I found the sexy blouse my
sister gave you for Christmas that you don't use just to annoy her, and I also donated those boots you bought at the expensive boutique and don't use because someone at work has a pair the same." The husband took a quick breath and continued - "She was so grateful for my understanding and help and as I walked her to the door she turned to
me with tears in her eyes and said, please ... can you give me anything else that your wife doesn't use!
:lol: :lol:

" many customers want and expect to be able to negotiate a price for the journey.


Do they also want and expect to be able to negotiate a price for their food at Tesco's or their beer at the pub or the petrol at the petrol station? Can they get on a bus and negotiate the price? Can they get on a train and negotiate the price? Why is it just taxis where they expect to be able to negotiate the price?


I've got a car advertised .................... and everyone who has come to view asks for a discount for one reason or another.

"Whats your best price for cash ?" is a question often raised.

I don't advocate discounting fares ..................... but to say that it doesn't happen elsewhere is not entirely true.
