this morning fetch a 40-50 something Chinese woman(auntie type) fr Jurong West St 91 to Bedok Reservoir View,reach there pretend to be checking handbag,later she say no money,then say write down her address and IC no.,at that time i got distracted cos she say going up to ask money fr mother,but i forgot to ask her to leave something behind eg IC,cos she look like those who ran out of money,waited 10 mins,nothing happen.later lan lan move off!so TDs beware of this woman! lesson learnt never let pax get away without any things as guarantee eg IC,personal belongings and never ever trust a pax!

Best is settle on the spot.
Ever encountered a case where pax short paid me $5 and promise to ATM transfer to my acct. After a few days, she no reply then I made a police report. Police call her and she promised again to ATM transfer but I did not receive the $. She insisted that she transfered and subsequnetly ignored my call and sms.
Even with police report, this kind of pax (minority race) also dare to not honour promise. I have learnt my lesson le. From now onwards all fare issues must settle on the spot.
That's what I said, singapore cabby industrial is a unique industrial, instead of paxs wary of cabbies in most countries, in sinagpore, we, the cabbies are more wary of Paxs, from pui chee to auntie to ah neh to young punks to cheapo..
.
You see, actually you have to right to ask pax to left their hp or something valuable behind before she or he goes up to take the fares. However, there is cases whereby pax get so angry by my request..
..Condo,..a chio aunty told me she left her purse upstair, she will go up and later pay me, I told her, then leave your iphone behind, she got so angried and scold.."WHY?? you service like that, you think I will cheat you for that few dollars??? how can you not trust others, like this how you earn your living"
So I calmly told her "Arbo, you paid now lor, I careless if you are millionaires or billionaires, when service is rendered, please paid, dun tell me you go eat chicken rice and tell the stall that you go back and pay him later?, I am sorry, because of increase of cheating fares, I am just taking my precaution, if not, we can aribitria at the police station or better still, engage our polices to come here with fares running."
Lan lan put h/p on the seat, when up take money, came down, thrown $12 on the front seat, bang door, walk off. I just drive off..think of what to eat for lunch better lor.
At times, to be frank, we are also thinking of cheating others, and some of us might had cheated others in their life, but still end up as TDs.
So, to understand the mentality of cheating, we might have to look inward to understand those cheating fares mindset. By and large, if you are a good body language reader, you can sense something is wrong with the pax, your suspicious can be due to many factors, from experiences to images of paxs to news of fares cheating.
Cheating to some, is a thrill, even the rich cheat fares to get the thrill of it, not to mention those who do not want to pay fare but still can go for a movie with pop corns. It is a thrill with a inward feeling that I gained, that stupid taxi driver get conned by me,,...hahahaha..and such habits in long run become a norm until the laws caught up with them.
The mindset is set to cheat, the looks and image of the taxi driver might further give the cheater that this farker have a get cheated look, lack of confidence, just make him blur blur gong gong abit and can cheat fare. Therefore the taxi driver image do play a part, the commanding style and the body language of TD can also give the cheater the confirmation to cheat or not to mess around.
That is to say, if the prey looks stronger or simply with a not to mess with me looks, than the hunter might have to think twice before attacking it.
Wah TS really seemed to have had a tough year driving cab. I hope 2013 will be much smoother and more productive year of driving.
