network problem .... when credit card network is busy , it takes longer time to process .Originally posted by maurizio13:Once I almost ended paying double for taxi fare.
Forgot to take cash out that day, used credit card to pay. The taxi driver swipe my card once, waited 30 secs, no response from machine, then he swipe my card again.
I took my first printout, was about to alight from the taxi, then I notice that the printer had another printout of receipt. After I alighted I suspected that he might have charged my card twice, I called the taxi company to enquire about it. The person at the other end called me back to say I have been charged twice and will refund me the excess.
That was the previous problem with the previous network , now no such problem liao . All thanks to technology .
Now once the first time credit card is swiped , one payment only . -
Somehow i don't believe .Originally posted by RaTtY8l:tis happen quite some time ago. the story is like tis...
i took a cab home. i reach my home and then the cabbie "quickly" switch off the meter charge. normally after u pay then they switch off or ater u reach ur destination, they will say $x den switch off. The uncle so "fast" switch off sia den he say $16.50. i was like "huh". i replied, "uncle, the fare is $14 plus leh." cos i normally will see meter n rmbr n calculate hw much change i show receive. the uncle apologise n say oh yea $14 plus nia...
so remember to see ur cab fare b4 u reach ur destination.

Then argue with him. He say $14, you say $4.

i've had a cab drive try to cheat me like that before. i walked out of the cab without paying a cent.

lol one time i got into a cab and we drove for no longer than 10 seconds when i realised i had no cash so i asked if he accepted nets and he said no. So i humbly apologised and told him i don't have any cash and as i opened the door he was like "hey aren't you going to pay?" and I was like "excuse me?"
and he just replied "it's $2.50" so i was like "WTF this is bullshit u drove for 10 seconds! piss off!" and i left. -
