Title: who are the tightest customers?
Post by: taxi1990 on October 29, 2022, 09:59:58 pm
Foe me it is Mayo hands down, lovely people who never give you trouble but I don't think I have ever got a tip from them, if its 9.80, that is all you are getting, not a hope they will round it off to 10.  :-[

just take the sterling, I do, then I spend it in the North when im up. if its 10 euro fare you usually get 10 sterling.

A northern Irish guy gave me 20 euro for a 7 euro fare one night, couldn't believe it, some of them are ok, another one gives me 30 for a 23 euro fare.

The Chinese by far the tightest of tight wads out there,ever get Euro 30.10 worth of food off them in a takeaway and they wait for you to find the 10 cent.

If I have a job with one of them I apply the exact same thing.

You are entitled to whats on the meter not a red cent more .Unless you go above and beyond in your service provision .I work Dublin 8,10,12 ,Lot of cash work would expect to get 10% overall on cash work in tips .I have noticed Yanks who use to cash tip now using the card do not tip at all .Might be something to do with having to put your hand out for the change seemed demeaning but on a card its  impersonal its just numbers .

i remember i was in my brother's kip one sunday sittin there with his pal who was smokin what i thought was a fancy cigar but it turned out to be dope and i was high as a kite from the smoke and i did'nt realise it. time to go home and i walked outside and jumped in a taxi and the fare was seven quid and i handed him 20 and i told him keep the change. he was all confused. why are ye giving me all that ye cunt he says. i did'nt want to give it to him but i was spaced out of it with a big smile on my face and forced it back at him. brutal it was.

I agree. Its funny though, when you get a working class Dub who doesn't tip, you think a lot less of them. Have only ever had about 2 of them, one was 8.60 or something like that, 8.60 was all he gave me, then he tried to keep me by talking shite, I would happily talk away to him only he didn't even round it off to 9 so I ended the conversation quickly.

Italians are tight, as is anyone with student debt into their 40s and 50s, i.e D4 or D4 wannabes.

crimbo last year i rolled up at a kip in portmarnock five in the morning.
some kinda party. irish fella late 40s and a latin american yoke.
she gets back out and goes back in. i left sumtin behind. probably a baggy a fuckin coke.
bout fifteen minutes chattin to the cunt in the car and she reappears and off we eventually go and i start the meter.
pull up outside a gaff in moatview in the dale. 18 euro.
i only ever pay 15. there ye go he says. if you hadda driven faster or sumtin it wudda been 15 or some shite.
thought he might be pullin my leg but the two of them get out. the tight cunt picked it up off her i'd say. i put the 15 in an envelope and posted it in their letter box the follyin day.
incidentally i hadda runner off the app in moatview last night from clanranald road in donnycarney. sara was the name or "sare-rid" with a d on the end as it's pronounced in parts of coolock. fuckin cunt came out of a house. for sara is it i says. yeah that's me bird pal. cunt legged it in to a field backin onta cara park. he was'nt a pikey though.
hadda a pikey aulwan from the priorswood inn bolt on me in foxhill later on that night as well.

Speaking of old students in their 40's, I carried this kind of guy a few years ago, collected at a mansion of a house (his parents holiday home) Rich people from Dublin with a holiday home in the west. He was a long haired lazy musician hippy type, into his conspiracy theories. fare was 25 euro, the useless ejit only had 20, said he would pay me the rest next time, never saw him since, hate them kind of people, like pay your debts you useless hippy. Funny how his parents can have a mansion as a holiday home and raised a son who cant even pay his taxi fare, they must be so proud.

I dunno is this tight or not ? but I had a short FN hop over the jazz weekend Washington street to the South mall (less than 1km) in he sits, pissed/stoned as a coot telling me he is mixed race, Tipp and Malaysian, which seemed true by his complextion, the fare is 9.20 on FN account with bad traffic and he says; "Your robbing me and ya don't even have a gun !", and then he insists on tapping his card on the Sumup fer another 15 notes as a tip ??

i don't do any of that jew stuff like startin the meter at the agreed pick up time. stuff happens. there's little delays sumtimes at crack dens or whatever. they call me postman pat around coolock. i'll pat ye down to see if ye have the dosh and if you start openin your gob at the end then you'll get it posted back through your letterbox like the fuckin deadbeat y'are. ye don't wanna see my creepin up your driveway at half five in the mornin by golly.

it was actually two runners in the space of about 15 minutes. it was such a cracker of a night i did'nt bat an eyelid. sure you're driven a magnificent car. you're loaded the runners do shout back at me. can't argue with that.

They will try it on with the next taxi driver so, no idea why you would do that Dr.


I remember another tight Mayo person, he was playing a gig in a pub, drop him and his girlfriend home, 14 euro I think. He says to the girlfriend, come on this man has other people to rob. The cheek of the dickhead. I wonder why Mayo people are so tight?

i wudda laffed it off and then given it the postman pat treatment.
€14 in an envelope through the letterbox. i've been known to give deadbeats free lifts if they start openin their mouths about the fare. they start the whinin and the huffin and puffin and they act like they're doin you a huge favour my payin the fare that you're entitled to. so i beat them to the punch and tell them to keep it. 99% of people are A1 as you know so it always catches ye off guard when ye have a beaut onboard.
