Two Dinners
Christmas day was for me was just another working day, the alternative was dinner at the mother in laws which I think I considered for about ten seconds. Someone's got to do it and besides I only worked for six hours, a nice quiet day just ferrying people round visiting their relatives and back and forth from restaurant's. Two or three kid's I picked up were having two Christmases, one at each parents house, great they said, but not the two huge competing Christmas dinner's they were expected to eat. This year I never had anyone moaning about the fares being double, and I should think not either, everyone else when they work a holiday expects double time and so why not your taxi driver. ; Oh just joking about the ma in law, honest!

ReplyDeleteI hope she is amused if she reads this.
I wish we could double our fares on Christmas. We could/would get more drivers working. Only had two cabs out last night.
I worked a few Christmas days myself. On the last two occasions I found myself driving round with kids realy who were looking for heroin. The dealers were sold out but they did manage to get some, though it was the "brown stuff"
ReplyDeleteI have a story about drugs (havent ewe all)which I will tell one day.
Happy new year.
Wil maybe Christmas isn't as big a deal over there, but then again new year is double rate as well
ReplyDeleteJohn no drug runs for me this Christmas, but had a few going to the pharmacy for the big meth script just before.
