    Angry Cab Company is ANTI-Cinammonkisses

    Hey guys, I'm pissed! Since my club is out in the boonies, I have 2 cab companies that I do business with. The one the picks me up from my house charges me a flat fee of $30 (sometimes even throws in some free trips) and the second company is out in the boonies, not to far from the club. They too charge me $30 to take me home.

    There are about 5 cabdrivers who drive for the "boonie" cab company. One of the guys (who we'll call Eric) is my buddy. We get along great, have lots of talk about and he's just freaking AWESOME! The other guy is "Tom" He's a bit older, I talk to him somewhat, but it's just bein cordial while he takes me home.

    Anyways, to make a long story short, "Tom" took it upon himself to b#tch to the cab owner that he refuses to take me home anymore! Since I live 30min away from the club, my fare to come home should be $40. But since my manager talked with the owner (from when I first started) they worked out a deal to only charge me $30 because hey I am working alot of days.

    So tonight, "Tom" get's to biotching about taking me home. And starts complaining about me to the other drivers ( they rarely take me home anyways) so now ALL of the guys are saying they won't take me home anymore except my buddy Eric.

    I'm so mad, and hurt. I spend hundreds, yes HUNDREDS of dollars ($720/month) on cabs per month! And that is just coming and going to work! And then you mean to tell me you aren't gonna take me home anymore since I'm not paying $40, but $30 as a discounted fare WTF.

    So I told Eric that since this is going on, then I'll just have to take my business elsewhere. For all that money that I've been spending going home from some assholes who really didn't want me to anyways...that's some BS [end rant]

    Awwww hun - maybe its a gift? - didnt you say you wanted to buy a car to get to and from work? Now you have a better reason to start buckling down to get it done. I hope all works out for you.

    Oh, and these guys need to get real. I cant believe theyre complaining over a few bucks. I hope they all sit in their cars in a McD parking lot with nothing to do every time they could have been making $30 driving you!

    $720 a month is a car payment AND insurance.

    CK, I know what you mean about the cab fare. At this point, I'm spending almost $600/month getting home from work (can't wait to get another car).

    Anyway, they have some nerve to b*tch about you. Are they making any money at 4am anyway? NO!

    Plus, the company worked out the discounted rate with the club owner from the get go, so if they had a problem with it before, then they shouldn't have made the deal.

    I would get Eric's private # and call him on his cell to pick you up from work. Let him make the money if nobody else wants it. If he says he can't do that (maybe he'll get sh*t from the other drivers), then I would call the cab company and complain to the owner. Let him know how much money they make off of you each month (1/2 of that $720 I guess), and ask if they'd be making it otherwise. Then let them know that you'll be taking your business elsewhere. When they want to start acting professionally, then they can give YOU a call.

    Grr... these cab drivers make me so angry sometimes.

    Maybe it's time to remind the cab driver how much you are giving him in ONE month. Instead of ONE cab ride. Sometimes it needs to be shown in the whole picture instead of just the little snippets. If he's still bitching...find another cab.

    I don't know. Around here cab drivers have their own "fees" to pay out. They have to make a certain amount of money, and driving in from far to take you home and then driving back is time that he can't be picking up other people. Plus the amount of money you are giving the company is not the same as the amount of money you are giving him, and the amount you are spending on cabs is not the same as the amount you are giving the company. He should be able to decide whether or not it is worth it to him to give out the discount.

    That being said - you are spending a whole lot on cabs in a month. You might consider re-investing that.

    My point exactly! But I have no other means to getting to work except the cabs I've tried saving money, but after bills, school bills, family stuff (what can I say I'm a softy) I rarely have anything left. I hate it!

    Yes, he gave me his number last night in the cab. He told me that he could get fired for it, but he really doesn't give a f*ck. Like I told him, "dude I appreciate the cause but I'm not gonna let you get fired" We worked up a plan that when he does pick me up, and we already know the cabbies are gonna bitch to the owner that we'll just tell them we are dating. There is nothing against the law with taking your GF home right

    That's a great idea! I think I'm going to call my boss (the owner of the club, not the manager today and tell him about this) and fill him in. Then I will call the cab company. If not today, then the next time I work.

    I see where you're going with this Jenny. But the area is a small town. There is no business like that. Bars close @ 2:30am, so they get a mini bar rush, then the rest of the time ( my club closes @ 4am) they are sitting in the parking lot twiddling their thumbs.

    It just pisses me off that they are running like a monopoly in that small community. There is one other tiny cab company in the area, but they have no connects with my club, so they aren't even allowed to pull up into the parking lot

    This whole ordeal has really pushed me into saying F*CK EM' ALL and getting me a car. So from this day on out, my soft girl status is out the window. I'm not giving away anymore money...I got bills to pay

    well i have another thought. sure you get a flat rate but do you tip? that may be why he doesnt want to take you anymore. years ago i used to get flat rates but i also tipped. they do have to give up about half of what they get. just like some dancers do.

    I can see why it would be irritating - particularly as you've already been getting a special rate. Now they are taking it away from you, so it feels like a surcharge and you do spend SO much on cabs (anyone remember the champagne room thread? See why the manager didn't want to bend the rules?) However, I think (at least up here) most cabs are licensed and regulated in terms of area and rates. So a monopoly doesn't have the same effect as it would in an industry that is less regulated. It's not like they can hike their rates because they are the only game in town. And what the guy wants to do is charge the normal rate - not charge above it.

    This whole ordeal has really pushed me into saying F*CK EM' ALL and getting me a car. So from this day on out, my soft girl status is out the window. I'm not giving away anymore money...I got bills to pay
    That is a good plan. If you are planning on getting a car, and live in a community that car dependant, you are pretty much just throwing your money away every week, even at a discount rate.

    What the fuck is that about? You should be able to call any company you want to get picked up.

    This whole ordeal has really pushed me into saying F*CK EM' ALL and getting me a car. So from this day on out, my soft girl status is out the window. I'm not giving away anymore money...I got bills to pay
    You are suppose to only give what you have to give - not till it draws blood.

    Think about your future too... as well as the additional liberty having a car will mean. I mean mass transit the US sucks.

    Having been involved with a limo driver I absolutely believe if this guy doesn't feel the fare's worth his time it's his right to step off. I don't get why he wants other drivers to refuse her. Seems weird. Does he have a crush? He acts like he has an axe to grind.

    Yea, I know but the problem is I don't know what that "other" cab company is called. They aren't even allowed to pull up in the parking lot and chill like the "bad cab company" does.

    I'm looking at this like a blessing in disguise. I'm just gonna have to do what I have to to make this thing work. Even if that means asking friends (who don't know I dance) to take me to work. I'm willing to do that if it doesn't mean giving into those guys.

    I'll definately keep you guys posted.

    See that's the messed up part. The guy with the chip on his shoulder actually COMES IN, during "cab driver hours" into the club and chills. He doesn't even pay to get in. He only does this when it's really slow.

    But the messed up part of it all is that he's constantly talking to me. He breaks his neck to compliment me on how I look every time I see me, and flirts with me like crazy.

    And now I find out the ugly bitter truth that he's trying to turn the other cabbies against me?! WTF. He's so 2 faced. I've seen him in action in the past but I never thought he'd bring that drama to me. Now I know

    Whoa CK.I'm sorry, two faced people suck. I would definetly buckle down on saving money for yourself and no more handouts. Us softies gotta harden up sometime, or we'll never get ahead You need a car and a way to keep saving so you can have another means of employement should something happen and you could no longer dance, etc.

    Yuck! Maybe he's jealous because he can't have you, and is making drama because of this.

    Do you have any credit cards? If you're going to save that much by having a car, you could use a credit card to get started.

    OK that sh*t makes total sense because why else would a guy go out of his way to get a girl stranded?! I think some political moves are in order. Tell the dispatcher you want to speak to the manager and then tell the manager that the cabbies refuse to honor the manager's program but _____ hangs out at the club during his work hours. Also, tell your manager that the cabbies aren't honoring the agreement to take the girls' fares but keep hanging out spending no money. Be calm and matter-of-fact. This is war. F*ck this guy and his personal bullsh*t! Oh, and don't ever ride with that freak again. He's probably looking at the money he thinks you make and wants every dime. People kill me! They want the money but nobody wants to do the dirty work.

    This shouldn't be that difficult. Get one of your lovelorn regulars to give you the downpayment for a decent used Corolla or something. BTW, the buddy cabbie pretty much just wants to fuck you and/or in love with you. He could turn too.....

    Nah he's a punk rocker type. Trust me we are NOT eachothers types

    Also, I dont' "think" I have any regulars who are that crazy obsessed with me that will give me a downpayment on a car. Hmmm doesn't help to try though

    bummer!!!! I take cabs as well, and the only probs I have had were guys being late so I had to let them go.
    Try and make that other dude your reg. Tell him the times you work and just get on his schedule. With my cabbies they know when to pick me up and what days that way there is no confusion, plus I call an hour early just to make sure.
    My question is were you tipping this guy? Yes, they were cutting you a deal, and my college did this for the students, but we were still expected to tip, you know? Cabbies are like us, they make most of their money on tips. You don'ttip them and like us, they get mad. VERY mad, I've watched a few dancers get refused service because they never tipped.
    Hope it all works for you.
    Do you think you could come in with a dancer, possibly? Just pay her what you would the cab?
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    Kisses,

    Why not just go buy an older car , pay cash in full and then save to buy a better car.

    If you just can't do that right now then consider trying the name your own price option on a Priceline rental car. We got one for less that $20 a day when we traveling out west this past Feb.

    Put the additional $10 a day that you were spending on a cab in a savings account to use for a downpayment or better yet a car you can own in full.

    I agree that you should save for a car-that's a lot of money to be paying for a cab each time you work. Are there any girls you work with that live close to you? If so, you could pay them $15 or $20 to take you to work and home, and you could put the money you'd be saving towards a car. With a car it would be way more convenient for you to go out and run errands during the day too.

    Cabs can suck sometimes. Once I only lived about 3 or 4 blocks from the club I was dancing at, and the cab fare was $6.50, not including tip. This doesn't sound like a lot, but it adds up over time. I didn't have a car, most of the girls I worked with were bitches so I didn't want to ask them for a ride home, and they wouldn't let me walk home due to safety reasons. One cab company that I used to take home from work would also pick up customers in the same cab or drunk guys from regular bars and I'd have to ride in the same cab as them. Sometimes they would drop me off first, which sucked because I didn't know if these guys were crazy and I didn't want them knowing where I lived! Yeah, definitely save for a car if you can.
