One of the email messages I received from my letter that I wanted to share.............



I think the story is totally insane. You cab drivers are deranged and need to sleep. The world don't revolve around you. You all are disrespectful to women - we don't do that in America so you all can go back where you come from. You all are very very very impatient and everything people say and the commercial from mcdonalds is totally true and I agree with everything they said. Not all can drivers are crazy but believe me when I say the majority is. Finally, you need to take that article out of "The Chicago Dispatcher" because that's your opinion and should only be your opinion.

I wish they made donkey burgers with hee-haw sauce and long ear fries.

That commercial is partly true. Its the system that make us react like that to credit cards. They should be easy to process and in the same amount as cash. Unfortunatelly its not like that...We have to explint this every time to the customers so they will understand that using a credit card in a cab is not the same as using it at the Dominicks. We are on the move and there's traffic agents eyes on us. And if you tip me $2 for an O'hare trip my tip is zero

Why not boycott credit card customers?

put a sign in your cab:

Cash Only Cab
Sorry,
Credit Card MSystem
Temproarily Out of Order

Ifd the customer syas anything, just say "I told the boss, but the boss said to drive anyway."

I agree cash only cabs in Chicago. That is what an ATM is for. I am independent cab. I will never take credit cards. The only thing that sucks. I can't pick up at the Airport. I still do better in the city sometimes.

Tell the Mayor to get "CASH ONLY" signs printed and given to "CASH ONLY" cab drivers.

If you Ask the Commissioner, she wil only say that she does not see nay need for more clutter in the back of the cabs.
