Tips and Tricks.
« on: November 06, 2018, 06:59:51 pm »
I learnt this new trick just last weekend, I picked up this drunk man on Sunday night who turned out to be a lot drunker than I had reckoned, he asked to head fer North Cork and when we arrived the fare was 15Euro, he rooted through all his pockets with coins falling everywhere and eventually came up with 3 Fivers which I accepted.
Obviousely I had the internal car light on when he was getting his money together, but as soon as I was paid I turned the light to Off so even when he opened the door to exit the light stayed off and he could not see all the coins he had dropped, the additional 7.70 in coins made it a nice fare.

and even then, only turn on one of the dome lights nearest you and leave theirs off in order to cast as little light their way as possible.

Had a lovely one of them a good while back. One of those really annoying clients who insisted on babbling in my ear for the entire short journey ending every sentence with "I know the story, bud" - "me brudder does a bit, I know...", "are ye on for the night, I know...", "will ye get 3 outta the night, I know...", etc, etc, etc... Anyway when we get to his gaff he tells me he only has a fifty but he can get change inside if I need it because "I know...". As we in one of the less salubrious northside suburbs I said I'd take the fifty and was about to put it through a forensic examination with the words "you know the story, bud" on my lips when I realised there was two of 'em so just gave him 40 back and away he went. Thought to meself, I might get 3 outta the night now, bud!
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

the customers always right john.
if they say there's a twenty and it turns out to be two twenties stuck together, who are us mere mortals to argue with them.

No tsure about that Doc could be Larcany as they are as you say stuck togeather .Your sort of kind of creating some sort of doubt about the intent of the transaction bu sayong they were stuck as opposed to saying I was presented with .Lad in black with a wig might take a dim view of the term stuck.
