Oh wow, I didn’t know you could say that. I should have told the taxi driver this when he said my card was declined (the reader was broken, so he had to use his phone with the Square dongle). I ended up having to use my other (debit) card, which annoyed me a lot… Paying cash was not an option, since I needed a receipt. He didn’t even have a printer, so I had to enter my email, which annoyed me even more. This was from Orlando airport to a hotel ($65 wo/tip)… going back I went with Lyft and it cost ($42 incl tip) and there is no problem paying.
- AnotherGoodName 3y agoThat's just a scam. My first job was working on payment systems in taxis. The biggest issue we had? Taxi drivers ripping them out so they can charge cash. I'm 20years out of the taxi industry but I wish Uber and Lyft would kill that industry completely. It's what I call a scam industry. Like car dealerships the entire industry is focused on squeezing every dollar they can from every transaction. It's horrendous. I also can't believe anyone would defend taxis here. Naivety I assume.
