Finally a little consolation (two!)
-
Picked up an Ang Mor family of four near Orchard. Headed to Sentosa.
I kept to myself mostly along the way because I thought they look frustrated by the weather. I just turned the air con up. One of the little daughters commented this cab is really tidy and smelled nice, the mom and dad chuckled.
When we got nearer, I prompted the Father about the possible charges into Sentosa since they didnt have any other pass, he was very glad I did so. He said he usually expected drivers to keep dead silent til they dropped bombshells at the end of the journey. I told him I couldnt stand surprises personally so I thought maybe my passengers wouldnt enjoy it either. Further that they were just here.
When they got off (another 2 new passengers already self boarded at the back of the seat), the Father who was sitted in front paid me the meter, AND then he kept ruffling for other notes. I said its fine, but he said he must tip me..the 2 passengers behind, also Ang Mors and I was like !?..then that Father dug up a Red and pass it to when the meter (alrdy paid) was just slightly over 10 total.
Thats not the end of the story. The 2 Ang Mor ladies who climbed in by themselves at the back also tell me to keep the change when I reached their place. Meter was under 12 i think, but they gave me 2 Reds.
hmm.

A tips a day keeps me smiling along the way.
Even if no tips, it just takes appreciation from people like this to brigthen up our day

last time I like to sit at the passenger seat talk to taxi drivers, until one day, one taxi driver actually told me I should sit at the back
From then on, I always sit at the back seat and don't talk much liao.

Guys , Tipping is a priviledge , not an entitlement .
So pls do not practise like those lold birds Merc Cabbies ( sorry MercCab) , who "asked" for tippings .
Like i got one friend , a silver cab fellow , when pax footing the taxi bill , he always asked : " How much must i give you back ? "
I hate that !!
If fare $12.80 , if they pay $50 , just change back $37.20 , case closed .
Unless they say : " Give me back $36 ."
We don't ask .
Where's your ego ? Hahahahaha

jialat liao, now that its mentioned, i really did that a lot of times lei! but for myself its more becos i am speaking out loud from my mind, like reminding myself, at the same time, if the customer is faster or has more experience, they can quickly tell me the figure then i just need to find the exact change promptly
