Pub Pickups
« on: June 11, 2023, 10:35:50 am »
Pain in my bollox answering Pub Pickups .Now I wait one minute then Cancel or cancel when I arrive and drive off .Cunts asking the barman to call a taxi when they still have a Pint to finish and think you are supposed to wait for them .Or you arrive and there are multi passengers fighting that the barman called you for them .

Never did them John....well the odd one from the Kilmardinny if Shane the barman e-hailed it...but thankfully since nights are a distant memory since I started back after the dreaded scurvy of 2020.

You dont Know its an Arthur Scargiller until you accept the Job .Sarsfield Road might be anywhere from the Applegreen to the Model School including a big Appartment block so you take it before you know its Clearys .Usually states Reliable Customer based on how often I cancel I dont know how they are Reliable .

When I used to work the app if I accepted a job and it was a pub I'd cancel straight away and boot off in the opposite direction.

Why would you pay to pick up drunks? Sand to the Arabs or wha?
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

I think that is gone now Marky or maybe it's just that I have all the pubs blocked.

Ya get to know them after a while, fer me Maiville terrace is the beer garden pub and Erin terrace is the Turners cross tavern, Etc.   
Usually a cash job and reliable customer status is a pub.   
Also you can expand the map to see exactly where on the road your customer is located.
I do take the odd one but give very little leeway on the waiting time.

Still there. I accepted and cancelled one over the weekend, can't remember the bar but it was up above in Dublin, possibly the Belcamp....

Good !  That would mean that I have successfully blocked ALL the pubs with bed logo's !

There was no bed logo on the one I was offered, not all pubs get paid. Drivers might be - well, clearly are - thick enough to pay for drunks from the likes of the Belcamp and the Priorswood... Free Now aren't.

I would take a chance on a cash pub job if it didn't have a bed logo or the 'call to the bar' reference, and if it was non-jungle hours and if it was less than a km away with a non-Hollywood name, and even with all that criteria filled they wouldn't be getting much leeway on time.

Carew has a bed logo from the Beaumont House. I don't think the Beller does. Most jobs from there go to the N32, ye get me bro? yeah, fresh!! 8)
