Guy calls in at around midnight and asks for a cab to come to a small town outside of my town (about 15 miles out) I tell him no problem but we have a $40.00 minimum. I ask where he is going exactly and he tells me. (It was about a $60 fare) He says no problem send the cab. I send my driver. Well she picks him up and they get to TOWN and he asks her if he can make a quick stop, she says no problem, its $30.00/hour wait time. They stop at one of the seediest Porn shops (no biggie, drivers use to that) in town and she waits for 15 - 20 minutes, he comes out with a big bag-o-goodies and they proceed to the destination. When they arrive the meter read $59.50, and he refuses to pay but $40.00, and tells her that's all he has and that the dispatcher told him that's what it would be...WRONG -- first of all the "dispatcher" (that's me) works for the drivers (that's how I see it anyway) and second of all, he should have thought about that before buying his sex stuff. Now I am not a judgemental person, no I am not, but hey come on, if you call a cab HAVE THE DOUGH DUDE!!! Rather than calling the POEleese and waiting for an hour for them to cite him for Theft of Services, she decides to just take the 40.00, have him black listed and head to another call that was holding. (good move) He calls me at about 5 am and asked for a cab back to little town Oregon, and, well, you can just imagine what my comment .....can't you???
POWER TO THE PEOPLE (who have money for their cabs)
The moral of the story is this -- IF YOUR GONNA PLAY YOU GOTTA PAY
