Ah Fat boy,
I am speaking from a TD perspective hor, so you think i will
take a lose stand if I am the TD??
You call yr friend, seat inside my taxi and enjoy aircon, music
and peace of mind, I paid for you?? in front got one luggage going
to airport and I cannot take because of you??
Restuarant on the other hand got other customer, whether I stay
or leave, they still can get customer, and I hv to make a walk to
an ATM, draw money and get back to you, did I enjoy my stay in your
restuarant, take yr aircon, occupy your seat??? that result in you
having to reject customer because no more seat?? And the key word
here is Maybe...if that resturant is customer orientated, they may
give me a 10% discount which is the usual case.
But for a TD, you seat in my cab, I am losing time and pax, and
all these incur cost to me, yet at the same time, my fuel is
running on idle mode, you think if I tell pax, meter still on, will
he or she agree?
Yes, I would agree that machine not workable is of nobody fault,
and also agree that there is no issue of not paying for both cases,
both the consumer and service provider do play a part here, hand in
hand to settle the matter amicably with an understand of each other
position, I wait for yr friend, I am losing, be it meter running or
not, because I would prefer a flag down fare. As for restuarant,
you wait for me, you do not lose anything, restuarant is still open
for business
Sure.. I understand your pt. But I tot you were trying to show
two sided. if only TD's, then, it would be biased.
So i am the customer, I tell you I wait outside the taxi. U can
off your taxi. U total your bill. I go and get your fare as per the
customer in the restaurant, would you agree?? U would be
having a smoke, having peace of mind.. and even listening to music
if U want, right?
Surely not.. what if I run? so if the restaurant asks you for
some things as warranty, I bet your first answer would be "ur
machine spoilt le.. I doing you favor", right? See..
Yes, if restaurant waits for
you to get your money, restaurant is still open. but the key is
there is a total already. So I go and get my fare for you. U
can total the fare.. technically, you are open for business, right?
I don't understand the need to
let the meter running.. given in this case, the machine is spoilt
is no one fault, so why should TD be the one to profit? And I
am very sure, most TDs will wait inside the taxi, with the air con,
music and peace of mind with the consumer.. right?
Just for discussion sake, no
offense.
