KohOnly21,
thanks for warning. Maybe those drivers met Nono before, could not win, so they had to invent a new trick to cope with hard bargainers?
That is why I never pay when I am still sitting inside the car. From outside, it's everything easier.
Nono,
I think you guess right.
I also think that the appropriate way is in the middle: we should not overpay, but neither the opposite and be stingy (the drivers have a family, blah blah...
)
I believe that the first self-defense is
knowledge: know in advance what is the appropriate price to pay, not only for taxi. If you have good information, any negotiations can be done on a solid ground.
(Bro StarCity please don't say I am "misleading"... I don't think it's fair. I write to help (and be helped). And then we can disagree. It's legitimate. What works for me may not work for everyone, but for sure it will work also for someone else. To each his own. Peace)
