This evening, pick up an ang mo pax from the club.
The moment he boarded my cab, start to complain to me.
Told me last night he came back from oversea, board a red cab at
AP.
After helping him load his stuff, the driver ask him if he got
cash which he replied he have.
His next question is how much cash he have.
This angmo said that he is dam pissed off and decided to unload
his stuff and take another cab.
I reasoned out that that driver might not have cashless
facilities and would like to make sure first but he said that even
if that is the case, he should not have ask him how much cash he
have with him.
He is very suspicious of this guy and think that maybe he is
part of a syndicate who wants to rob him later.
He said this guy drives a red car and is very immaculately dress
in a white shirt with a red tie driving a cab with the number 599x.
I hardly meet a red cab driver who is even decently dressed, not to
mention the word immaculately.
To me, this guy is just plain tactless, what u guys think?
Sounds like this ang mo got harassed in other Asian countries
and was cautious, in Singapore because of the Chris Reed
article.
Put yourself in his shoes first. You travel to a foreign
country. You land safely and manage to get a cab. Taxi driver asks
whether you got cash. Off course you got cash in your currency but
you need to exchange it to the country currency that the taxi
driver accepts.
