Just an small inquiry last Saturday I covered the 20 jobs required to gain the 150 Euro Bonus I only recieved 100 .The first job was a Priority job that I rushed through heavy traffic to accomodate the passenger who was going out for a meal with friends ..The starting time for this job was 5.09 Pm well inside the starting point for the promotion .My account number is ******

Hi John,
Thanks for getting in touch with mytaxi,
Unfortunately, your first job started at 4:51. In order to get the Saturday night bonus, it is between the hours of 5pm-5am.
That’s why you got €100 as you completed 19 jobs
Regards,
Simon

Sorry Simon but I accepted the job as it was a Priority that the customer was served .The time I accepted the job bears no relationship to the actual time the job started which was 5.09 as you are aware you ask drivers to allow the passenger some waiting time and the job only starts when the passenger enters the car now you owe me another 50 Euro.non negotiable
I have had previous experience with bonus payments from Hailo and have a large following on taxi fora and wont be messed around by semantics .Now you Inform Tim Arnold of your decision not to pay me on your misinterpretation of when the job actually started .
I look forward to you realizing your mistake and rectifying it as soon as possible .
Regards .
John Mc Grath .
PS .Seriously run this decision past the boss

Are they really going to start this shit again ? If the job begins when you accept it then we can turn on the meter straight away .The Email from the Dungeon clearly states the official my taxi starting time which was a full 18 minutes before the actual starting time and the time I started to charge the customer for my service .I hope this time there is somebody in the Dungeon who understands bad PR .50 yoyo in my account by end of play tomorrow and ill post the conformation E mail just to let you know that the dumb fucks who refused my Christmas 2014 Bonus are no longer being listened to .

Hear we go again :-\

I hope you dont let them get away with it this time John !!

want going to!!

Its simple .I see a job in Ballyfermot offering priority the pick up time is 5.10 Pm .Im at home in Clondalkin so I accept the job for a pick up at 5.10 I pick up the Happy Customers @5.09 .When my bonus payment comes out they only pay the lower bonus as they were confused as to when the job actually started yet it is clearly stated on the Reciept the Pick up time the drop off time and the fare .
Its dissapointing that such a mistake should be made as I had even commended the new regime for helping me with a misentered fare and I actually applied for scratch payments probably only the 3rd or 4th time I ever bothered . So I have advised the operative in accounts of the issue once again and suggested he might run the refusal to pay by Tim just to be certain of his ground before I start my campaign to recieve my outstanding Saturday Night Bonus Payment .
In a recent conversation I had with the Dungeon I pointed out PR was where they were losing out .Thousands of drivers and tens of thousands of satisfied customers and you want to make an issue out of how you misinterpret the actual starting time for a job as displayed on the actual receipt .Im sure if this issue passes Tims desk I wont have any problems and neither will he .

Ur mistake john
Stupid
-
Yeah I hadn't the heart to tell him..Ya should of done 30 jobs to make sure and teach them a lesson John..
-
No the job started it was advertised as pick up at 5.10 Pm that was ten minutes after the start of the the promotion so was clearly a qualifying job .If I thought there was any doubt I could of given myself a few jobs off of my own passenger app .The Time on the OFFICIAL reciept states the job started @5.09 PM .I have the Boss Mans Personal phone number so if there is any messing Ill give him a bell and sort it out .I covered 20 jobs got paid for twenty jobs but their issue is .I accepted a Priority pre booked job that the Ambassadors didnt want before 5 oc which is not relevant as the job offer was clearly that the Customer wanted to be picked up @5.10 and I provided that bespoke service along with pleasant conversation and humility

Did you not get your Nat King on hols, John? Nothing more frightening than a taxi man who is convinced he's right.
-
Amend that...he is right actually...
-
For 50 Euro do you really think they want me to be wrong ?.They paid out hundreds of Thousands in bonus payments they hardly want me bad mouthing them for the sake of a bullseye plus they are WRONG .Simple as

Grand so.

Did you get your Christmas 2014 bonus yet, erm? The boss might tell you he can't afford it 'cos he expecting Daimler to send a couple of heavies around to collect virtual interest on a fictional loan, or something!
-
Yer probably right but it's much more fun to pretend yer not.There's no way that 50 quid is worth the stress yer going through right now.

Nah there is method to the madness bit like the shinners they didnot always bomb fuck out of the kip to remind people they Havent Gone Away. Sometimes they just got a few people out on the streets banging dustbin lids .Im sure the Lad in accounts is reviewing his decision and my 50 will be forthcoming .

Whilst I agree you should receive the €50 as the 20 jobs were covered inside the stated time period, the above email's passive aggressive manner is unlikely to be treated favourably, but you never know?

My newfound Confidence in the way Mytaxi are dealing with drivers was justified .i recieved the following Email this evening ,
Hi John,
Thanks for getting back to us.
I have reviewed this and we will be paying the €150 bonus to you for last Saturday. As the first booking was so close to start time we have manually applied this bonus and it will be in this weeks statement.

Suggested reply:
Thank you for your response
.I just got back from Tenerieffey yesterday and I was bleeding skint because I invested all my cash in duty free cigarettes to knock out in Finches at the weekend .A friend of mine contacted me at 13:55 with a tip for a horse running in the 14:35 at Lingfield Park .I was a little annoyed because I didn't have time to liquidate any of my stock and back the animal .The fact is the yoke won at 6/1 .If my bonus had been correctly settled I would have had 50 notes to invest .Hence you now owe me three and a half hundred .I trust you will include the same in my next statement .Please be more careful in future
.Regards

There's plenty of go in a man just back from Playa des Tattoos. Fair play John...nice little earner if you get me.
-
The relevant members of the .That Fucking Horse Should Be Fed To The Dog Club got the relevant phone call and hopefully had a little wager .A percentage of the winnings were further invested on Real Madrid .If as you suggested I had of had that 50 it probably would only of been wasted on counterfeit goods or cheap drink while I holidayed on a Live Volcano in the middle of the Ocean .
-
Hopefully you keep the head and don't back Utd tonight now.
-
Still, you'd at least double your money on the counterfeits and duty frees.

That Market has collapsed Rodent Gargle is as cheap in The German Supermarkets and you can buy 50,000 carton of Smokes from Big Dommos Great Grandson for 700 Yoyo .I know you reside in an Upmarket seaside residential area just North of the Capital but down here its Banger and Fireworks season from now till Halloween and you can never go wrong with the Girls Michael Koors watches .Get 40 a pop for them the China Man will supply you with 50 of them at a score a go if you buy in bulk .Throw them up on FB buy sell in your area there are loads of them pages join them all .There are more people selling shit on the web than driving taxies and making a better living ... I bought a set of Studio Monitor Speakers from a lad in Cabra he buys and sells sound equipment .He was telling me he joins every local sales site he can on FB and monitors them all if somebody is selling stuff well under price he buys it and reposts it on his own site .He recons people often sell specialist equipment well under price as they do not know exactly what they have .

DJ erm is in de house.

Thinking about it Rodent there is enough Equipment around here to run a four day festival .Pub DJs getting anything from 150 to 250 a night for 3 or 4 hours .Good House DJs can get serious Bronze and see the world .

Well done John M, you were well within your rights this time.
Mytaxi could have pulled all kinds of rules and regulations
outta dere hole, but fair dinkum, they didn't.

On reflection, they did give you the extra 50 bonus, but they did not accept any liability,
stating only that "As the first booking was so close to start time".
Sounds more like a charity hand-out than an acceptance of error on their behalf.
-
John do 22 this week
To be sure to be sure as they say in kerry
-
What I did notice , and maybe this threw a few drivers off,
was that the job count when you went to your job screen showed
'no-contacts' and 'cancellations' as jobs, which I sincerely doubt do
count as completed job to obtain the 20 job Bobo ?
What I use to calculate jobs on a 'Sat Bobo' night is your point score
on the home screen, this shows your true completed jobs ONLY.
-
Cancellations don't count as jobs. As you note, the points score is the one to watch. I did hear that a driver lost his bonus due to a retrospective cancellation. As the story goes the depot decided to refund the fare on foot of a complaint from the passenger and, in doing so, deemed the job to be cancelled so no longer reckoned in computing bonus entitlements.
-
That sounds a bit far fetched, but it is a realistic possibility.
Also congrats Rats on winning the Bobo series 2-1.
