There's something to be said about an industry where the bar for "good" is the service employee just not talking to you at all for an extended period of time.

- wavefunction 10y agoI like to talk to my taxi drivers. They've mostly been immigrants and I ask them about their home country, their family, what they think about America. It's been great every time.
- harlanlewis 10y agoIn addition to the nice things you said, I've found out about lots of incredible ethnic food I never would have heard about otherwise. A ride with a Tajik driver led to an incredible Afghan restaurant (which is apparently as close as the Bay Area gets to Tajikistan's cousine). Drivers in general are in one of those very interesting roles that interacts with a broad swatch of the population. Even aside from their own background, they are one of the stirring sticks that mixes a place's cultures together.
