The Driver…

Wednesday night after work, I was waiting for a cab on a rainy night. I’m lucky, just a few minutes there was a new cab in front of me. I asked the driver if I can ride, he looks at me first then he agree and he let me in in his cab. While we’re heading on a traffic road, he asked me if it’s okay for me to add fifty pesos on the meter rate. I was shocked not because of what he’s asking but because at his young age he has the guts to ask and approach his passenger in a rude manner. I asked him nicely “how old are you? your so young to be a taxi driver, do you have a license? He replied “yes ma’am I have it and I’m 22 years old, my father allow me to drive his taxi to earn extra money while I have free time. “Oh! your father own this cab? nice to hear that.” I am working in day time in a multinational company, I’m in sales department.” I said “oh! that’s good at young age you work hard to earn money. Then I asked him “why you stared at me before you let me in in your cab?” He smiles and said “I choose my passengers if not good looking I don’t allow them.” Oh, thank you I’m lucky, and thank you for your compliment but it won’t stop me to say something for your own good. I said “Mr. young driver please don’t get me wrong, I’m just concern with you, your too young, and you should learn how to approach your passenger in a nice way, don’t learn those bad manner, If you want them to treat you nicely you should treat them nicely too. I feel what you feel, it’s hard to be a taxi driver now a days not all people will understand your way. For me if the driver is nice and polite I will give more than your asking price, and never judge one person on their looks, looks can be deceiving, treat your passengers equally. And he said “I’m so sorry ma’am for me I don’t see my way in a bad manner in asking my passenger, if it’s okay for them to add on the meter rate but if they don’t like it, it’s okay for me.” And I said just be nice to your passengers and never expect something from them just do your job, a passenger like me will give you more than you expected. When I reached my place I gave him double the price he asked but he didn’t accept it and he said “no ma’am this is too much I won’t accept it your advice is more than enough for me, always take care on your daily life, I admire your personality having a good looks and having a good heart, I wish we’re at the same age level.” Lol! I knew it no wonder he’s a good sales person I hope he will be a nice cab driver too.
