PLASTIC VS CABS

YELLOW CARD Why bother adding the convenient credit card machines in taxi cabs if I’m just going to get harassed every time I want to use it? I swear, when you arrive at your destination and you pull out a credit card, the cab drivers act like you are giving them a hunk of coal. One time, the cab driver took all the cash I had instead of my credit card for a fare out to Logan; he took $16 for a $37 fare! I’m sure there is some “book-keeping” or “mileage tracking” process that is more difficult if too many fares pay with credit cards, but I’m sorry the customer is always right. And when I use plastic I’m more inclined to hit the 20% to 30% tip amount. So just shut-up, my debit card is as good as cash.
