Jul. 11th, 2007 12:05 amAn anecdote from taxi-land:
Yesterday I'm at work. At first, while working the phone and my manager was working the radio, a guy called up wanting a cab to pick him up at the bus stop downtown. He says, "Do you have any white drivers?"
I respond, "I have white drivers. What kind of driver you're gonna get I won't guarantee. But I'll send you a cab."
"Okay well send me a white one! I don't need no Taliban picking me up!"
I didn't send him anything.
A bit later I'm working the radio. My manager, now working the phone, gets a call... yep, it's honkey again. Same asinine request.
His response?
"No sir, we don't serve white people."
