Driving 5 minutes to someone's house, waiting 5 minutes for them to get into the cab, and then getting $3.25 and voucher for $1.75 that's discounted at 20% by American doesn't pay the bills.<BR/>2) I didn't have dogs often, maybe 2 or 3 times over a 6 month period. Often their owners have gone lax on the dogs, and they don't lay on the floor like they are supposed to. They can climb on the seats getting dog hair all over, not to mention wet paw prints depending on the time of year. It was rare enough that you just do it and don't complain. If I would have worked that zone consistently, I probably would have learned when he usually called and avoided the fare for this and the previous reason.<BR/>3) What is unmentioned is probably a jerk on top of it.<BR/>4) Red is absolutely right that it is a matter of supply and demand. There are several zones in the city that will routinely see half hour wait times after posting depending on the time of day. There are parts of the month where it isn't unusual to get wait times exceeding an hour. This particularly true of the TP crowd, because they get their money the same time each month.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
