How much change do people think a taxi driver carries?
Some people seem to think i have unlimited amounts of change!
The first 5 jobs i had last night all handed me a £20 note for a £3 journey.
You can imagine the mood this put me in having to run in to shops to buy crap i didn't want or need to get change.
Can you guess my reaction when some scruffy young scrote asked if i would take a £50 to pay for his fare home.
Yeah not good
I managed not to swear and resisted the urge to beat him to death with my satnav instead i lied through my teeth as to why i couldn't.
I mean who the hell carries £50s.
I have only ever seen a couple so i wasn't sure if his was fake or not.
Still I did get to hold it for a little while.
It was nice so if anyone would like to send me a few I would be grateful
Anyhoo rant over time for bed.
Night.
Could've been worse - could've been a Scottish £50.
ReplyDeleteMay as well have been it was a northern bank £50
ReplyDeleteSounds like a chancer, like the folks who do the same on buses with 20s in the hopes they get a free ride. Did you get change out of him in the end?
ReplyDeleteYeah i did he had the correct fare in coin it was only £5.30.
ReplyDeleteHe did whine a little that no one would change it for him.
Ah cool, alls well that ends well :)
ReplyDelete...but where do people even get a £50 note from these days? Never known a cash point to give one out. Unless he buys something big he might be carrying that baby around for years!
Can remember that while back in Europe. Paying with €50 notes for a €1.60 ticket! I knew one conducter who said he only had €40 back as change, to put them for a choice, and some said 'ok' to it. Nice profit when lucky
