frick those dudes. My fiancé uses a cab account when we are in Nola and its the most useless thing ever.

If you tell them you have one, they refuse just about every time and say they aren't here to pick you up. I started just shoving everybody in and telling them about the account when we are almost home.

At least you might have a fighting chance of getting a ride on gameday.
The current cab situation in all aspects around BR is just horrible.

You are charged a cleaning fee that that is pretty high so while I'm sure it is a nuisance, the drive will not have to pay for cleaning.

Yeah I have found the ones in NOLA are the worst. Few weeks ago wife and I just wanted to go a few blocks late in the evening to hotel and took us while to find one that would take a card when most clearly had machines for it. Finally found one but he wouldn't let me take my bottled coke in the cab. But they can do what they want with no competition.

Instead of wasting your time here, shouldn't you be out organizing a union or something?

I've just decided to say screw it and get in the cab everytime. Then pull the card or account on them later.

Smart college students could make BANK on Friday and Saturday night just ferrying people who want to avoid that clusterfrick of a parking situation at the North Gates, but really want to see whoever's playing at the Varsity.

Cabs in BR do the same shite. They won't say they DON'T take cards, but they'll make it very clear they prefer not to.

Every time we've offered to stop at an ATM instead, they prefer to do that and stop the meter than run our card. Very weird.

One of them explained it to us before when we asked, but I don't remember exactly. I guess somehow they don't end up with much of the tip if you use a card..? I don't know.

TigerWise was making an obvious crack about Les Miles with the clock mgmt and drug test post.

Not sure if a few of you are playing along or just missed the joke.

I'd want to use Uber, too, if all I had to drive was a brand new, crappy Cadillac Escalade.....

Except he has been in every single thread related to Uber bashing it every chance he can.

See quotes from the troll Tigerwise regarding Uber in NOLA:

quote:

Because it will put good hard working taxi drivers out of business. Now anyone can be a taxi driver and it will lower cab drivers wages. It will be the end of the professional taxi driver as we know it.


Regarding Uber in BR:
quote:

It will put good hard working taxi drivers out of business. Now anyone can be a taxi driver and it will lower cab drivers wages. It will be the end of the professional taxi driver as we know it. Hope BR is ready for the bums ...


quote:

As a professional cab driver it worries me that anyone can become a cab driver via a CL ad.


quote:

You are really missing the point bro. If they don't price uber out the market and let them compete strait up with the local guys the local guys will be out of a job. If these guys are out of work they will be out on the street adding to the population of bums in the city.....

How long did it take to go through all of TigerWise posts to copy and paste all that shite?

You call him a troll and then allow him to complete his mission by wasting all this time.

Kinda funny. I guess it worked...Troll successful.
