My 15 Cents Worth

[Rat Catcher]

Had a non payer from Free Now last evening - pair of drunk/high burds from West Kilmore to Clongriffin. On top of losing the €18.90 fare (or giving them a free lift, whatever way you want to look at it) I've had to enter €1.00 received to clear the Free Now job. Going through the help screens in the Free Now app eventually advises using a non-existent help button (as below). I wonder how many drivers bother pursuing their 15c beyond that dead end?




Anywaysanall, not to let it go, I used the general contact button to go all Octy on them:

my last freenow runner.
an english yoke on a drug run from clongriffin to ballymun.
it was the friend's account.
back at clongriffin fare was thirty sumtin. she hands me shrapnel and says i'll go in and get the rest and never came back out.
i contacted free now and they usually say contact the coppers but i said that she was a lovely yungwan and i didn't wanna get her in trouble. she probably had every intention of coming back out but nodded off after bangin up etc. they got back to me and said they gave my number to them and they'd contact you about the lolly tomorrow. my phone rang with a number i didn't recognise the next day. it was probably them but it happenned to be my day off and i wanted leavin alone so i said me bollocks about it.

The last one I had was years ago in Darndale. They told me I can block the passenger for myself but they won't block him from other drivers. I heard that same response from other drivers much more recently. Seemingly, they can block a customer completely if he owes them a surge fee - even as little as €1.00 - but not if he owes 26,675 drivers fares totaling €1,000,000+.

Where in KW, and was it to Marrsfield, which is riddled with junkies and down and outs?

[Rat Catcher]

I prefer WK to KW... seems to sit better with the snobs in EK.

Trying to champion the cause of the working man is all, Octy. How many 15centseses do Free Now trouser 'cos men can't be arsed?

... and it really gets my goat how they can block a client if he owes them as little as €1.00 in surge fees yet not if he owes drivers money. One such driver I spoke with in the real world was owed €70 from a runner in West Finglas.

No matter how you put it they're all corpo gaffs. Kilmore is the left after Kilmore court off Kilmore Road. My mate told the Gardaí he was from Kilmore - The purchased houses -, so they knew he wasn't scum...which he was!! 

There's no East Kilmore, South Kilmore, or East Kilmore, simply Kilmore.

Where on Kilbarron did you get the runners? There's a burned out gaff beside the church which used to house crackheads and a junkie house around the 50's on the Park.

I'm waiting, his job will show again some night and I will take it and ring Togher Garda station on the way to collect him telling them the details of the previous job and then calling in to the Togher Garda station as it's on his route home.

I reckon he has you blocked Ken. You are NEVER getting that dollar. You know it, I know it and yer man definitely knows it. You were taken to the cleaners, end of story.

Your prob right Horse but if he makes the mistake then I will be all over him, the story involves a bit more than this but that's the basics.
