Almost same journey twice a day in to town.<br />Now the prices varied between 6€ and 9€ each time, which didn't really bother me, what I found funny was when the taxi drivers, at our destination would say an amount "seis(6)...no er, ocho(8)." Thats a thats a two euro price increase in the space of a breath.<br /><br />And me dad still tipped.Robbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746692668880855217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-61439368164627378622009-04-13T17:03:00.000+01:002009-04-13T17:03:00.000+01:00Necessary a lot of the time for me :(You always se...Necessary a lot of the time for me :(<BR/><BR/>You always seem to get particularly annoying cabbies, if your blog is anything to go by.Please Don't Eat With Your Mouth Openhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246896544080806179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-85776809715830004442009-04-13T14:36:00.000+01:002009-04-13T14:36:00.000+01:00I hate cabs too .. `mini' version or otherwise, th...I hate cabs too .. `mini' version or otherwise, they are the devil's spawn, but unfortunately completely necessary (at times).Mouldy-Old-Tartlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038284679875424873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-55246329008819914832009-04-13T13:48:00.000+01:002009-04-13T13:48:00.000+01:00Jessica - I'd hope that would be the common way of...Jessica - I'd hope that would be the common way of thought with taxi drivers. Its my choice whether I give a tip or not, it will usually be 'not', but it depends a lot on the situation...and how flush I'm feeling ;)<BR/><BR/>Relucs - Yeah I like a bit of quiet time in a cab too. Scored big the other night though, found a five pound note on the floor in the taxi office. Nabbed that pretty quick.Please Don't Eat With Your Mouth Openhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246896544080806179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-64735456436958858572009-04-13T13:40:00.000+01:002009-04-13T13:40:00.000+01:00I am not keen on beans but if I were going to eat ...I am not keen on beans but if I were going to eat them then it would have to be Heinz. <BR/><BR/>Living in a small city I can always arrange to use the same taxi firm. But yes, the tipping thing winds me up too. Some of them do not deserve a tip - they take a longer route than is necessary, or yes, they ask for directions or bore me with endless questions about my holiday or night out. I like peace and to get where I am going quickly.<BR/><BR/>My sons like taxis as they nearly always find coins down the backs of the seats! I am too embarrassed to hunt for them when I am on my own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-25966963735696129392009-04-12T02:25:00.000+01:002009-04-12T02:25:00.000+01:00I wouldn't bother feeling embarrassed about the ti...I wouldn't bother feeling embarrassed about the tip thing. My dad's a taxi driver (a good one, I promise) and even he supports always asking for your change if the driver assumes that you're tipping him, and only tipping the driver after he's offered you your change back.Sprinkled Words (former Miss Milk)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10490666010640657826noreply@blogger.com
