The GPS is controversial due to The Man issues.
Yeah. And I don't have much sympathy for that -- *my* boss knows where *I* am all the time. Most bosses do.
Huh. It never occured to me it was the cabbies worried about The Man. I assumed passengers. I may watch too much Law & Order.
They shouldn't have to pay to install it, at least not the individual drivers. But the typically 3% surcharge is the normal merchant fee, and it's a violation of the merchant agreement to tack a surcharge on.
Mind, taxi drivers operate on a tight margin, especially when gas costs so much. And I did have a driver here tell me that his cab company charges him $2 for every credit card used. Which is fucked up and explains all the attitude I get from drivers, if that's typical here.
