An 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."

Interestingly, this anecdote would probably play out exactly the same in New York.

Yay! I've been hoping for a good taxi-land anecdote or two to come up. This was a good one. :)
