I book through grabtaxi and he song song press $3.30 KNN I
support his grabtaxi quota let him earn extra he want to cheat me?
I not tourist leh. Even he dunno I am a TD must he cheat his fellow
countryman? $1 I can treat him lim kopi nevermind. Even sometimes I
take cab fare $8++ I also give $10 keep the change. It's the action
I buay song. $1 I cannot afford? I hard up? I yao?
I dunno but I find it hypocritical. On the 1 hand you wanna
complain him and teach him a lesson, yet on the other you give $10
and keep the change.
Why keep the change? After all you're upset with his method of
cheating.
I'm saying right or wrong, but I think this would hv been
better>
1) Fuck him and tell him hello $1 also you want to cheat? I
gonna rept you
2) Take your correct change back after getting the receipt, get
that $1 back, f him again say I always give tips but don't like to
be cheated into giving tips. Inform him you will report.
3) Just pay the stipulated fare and complain, you can inform him
if want to or f him, or if dont want also can.
4) Just f him upside down and rept to SMRT in writing.
I kena 1x before, just pointed out the error - he typed loc
surcharge $1. He returned it back. Had he made some issue or deny,
I would rept, but in that case I gv him the benefit of the
doubt.
I dunno but my personal observation is this:
I think you've been trained in such a way by someone that
consider themselves some kind of taxi superior or supervisor on the
road. Any mistake or wrong by another TD must be reported and made
an issue out.
Dont mistake me, I am not saying this TD doesn't deserve some
kind of punishment, be it a farking, a complaint to his company or
an LTA rept. But what I'm saying is the public doesn't have a high
regard for TD and are quick to complain and curse TD. The last
thing another TD should do is shame a TD publicly. If wanna rept
report quietly. This kind of thing doesn't make the taxi driver
reputation better in the public eyes.
And I also don't buy into a policy of the need to educate other
TDs by highlighting it. There will always be a tiny minority that
will flout the rules and even overcharge, not just now but also in
future. Even some future rule breakers haven't yet started driving,
but they will break when they join later. It's nothing to do with
being a TD but human behaviour. If a person is dishonest, he'll be
dishonest whether a TD or not.
Dishonesty doesn't have to be directly overcharging, it could be
going a longer route, pick and choosing during busy time in the
hope you'll get someone who's desperate and will offer more. The
last is not directly dishonest or even a rule break, but it shows
the attitude or moral compass of the receipient.
I am not saying you did wrong in reporting, but I think the
manner you went about it, gives me the impression that you seem to
take some pleasure in doing so. But that's my view and I'm not here
to force my view on yours.
