Post by: john m on February 07, 2018, 03:51:20 pm
How do you recognize if a venue is extorting hospitality charges out of us .It use to say charge 2 yoyo pic but that dosent happen anymore .I want to avoid these jobs as I wont pay a hotelor pub  for providing them with a quality service .

Often wondered that John since the PUC was generously reintroduced,but i fend to avoid that work...well more those shite pub jobs that have a ref number and say come into bar,i reckon they still have the hospitality charge.

They seem to clear blocked customers periodically. I've blocked the Regency three times but it still comes through.

The Company line ....In regards to the Hospitality fee, there is no specific way to identify these bookings from others but, usually, the account name will be the name of a Hotel or a similar establishment. Furthermore, there may be a note such as "please come to reception". Just to let you know, not all the hotels charge a hospitality fee and the part of the reason it is in place is because these journies tend to be of higher value e.g airport bookings, sightseers.  HOW DO THEY KNOW WHERE THE PASSENGER IS GOING ?HOW LONG BEFORE THEY APPLY THE RANSOME TO CORPORATE JOBS AS WELL

I done one of these from the red cow hotel yesterday (only because I needed a piss) when I done my business I told the gay fella at the reception that I'm here cos you ordered a taxi ref number ####

He says oh yeah they are over there in the lounge...
Well go get them says I, inanyways out he comes out with a couple about 40 ish up from the sticks or somewhere south of kerry
As they came walking towards me he (the gay receptionists) says these want to go to the luas station to get a tram into town...

Not in my cab they won't and walked out.
That's another fine establishment I have blocked.

It did,but when they were gracious enough to reinstate the PUC,i'm pretty sure they're assuming that all drivers are charging it at this stage..so they can steal it away again!!

The banner didn't always appear. The bed logo is more reliable.
