First, I've heard of no such incident - and I contract with this company.
Second, leaving no tip on a $6 dollar fare cost the cabbie .30 cents - we're charged %5 on credit card transactions, they are more time consuming than cash, and we can only cash them in Monday-friday between 7:30am and 3:45pm.
If you can't carry SIX DOLLARS on you to pay your fare, don't be surprised if your cabbie is rude.
And frankly, some of the folks we deal with are difficult from the get-go, and we have the option of ejecting them from the cab at any time. This woman is lucky she got to her destination via cab.
This story is just that - a story some kid made up to justify their own behavior. Don't believe it for a second.
I had a feeling it was fishy.
