re: My Uber and Taxi Cab experiences this week:

The last cab I took in new Orleans was terrible. Flight landed at 11pm so I was tired and ready to get to hotel. Asked when I got picked up if he took credit cards, he says "yes yes" and waves me in.

Get to the French Quarter and pull out the card and he looks at it and says "you have cash?". I didn't so said no I only have the card. He acts all angry and says "I'll try but this hasn't worked all night." He fumbles around with the machine for like 5 minutes and it finally goes through and pops up on the back screen. I sign with the tip and go to leave but he says I can't until I sign the receipt. As I said, I'm already tired and pissed and just want to go check in. He fumbles around with the machine and it's all jammed and won't print. I watch him work on it for another few mins and just tell him I'm going in and can't wait any longer.

He says he can't confirm the payment went through and I said he'll have to take that up with the company and just go check in. I checked the account after and it did go through.

Last trip I took I used only Uber and every car was quick, clean and everything was so fast and easy
