Blahhhhhhhh..

Vickyx3, I understand that they lose money from the credit cards, but why offer it if you are going to get mad? What if I walked around with a sign that said "free puppies". Then someone came up and asked for one, and I got mad when I gave them one... just doesn't make sense right? I think that people need to realize its the 21st century, and that is that. Also, especially in Philadelphia - I NEVER carry cash on me because I could get mugged, who knows. I guess I should be nice and ask if they accept credit cards, but I don't.... because I know they do. It's a really sensitive subject that has bothered me since my arrival into Philadelphia last year. So Ms. Lam, if I'm ever in a cab with you again.. don't be embarassed when I get angry with their huffing and puffing at my use of a credit card.

Goofy is my fav character! I think he is a dog, even though Pluto is a dog. Goofy is so cool, he can be anything he wants.

So I know I'm a little late on this but...

As for cabbies and credit cards - a few FYIs:
1. It is illegal for a taxi cab to run in the city WITHOUT a working credit card machine. So when they say they can't accept cards, they are lying. You are never obligated to pay cash.
2. While the percentage a company might have to pay for a customer using a credit card may deter some cab companies from preferring their use for payment, the reason cab drivers get upset is because if their tip is put on the card they a. don't get the money for over a week and b. have to claim the tips on their taxes.

I'm 100% in agreeance with Sam - cabbies getting mad at my form of payment is a HUGE pet peeve of mine - and I only ever pay for cabs with credit cards because of that. Great convo kids :)
