I just came back from St. Joe so this will be somewhat short. I have had nurmerous moving fares in my ten years in the cab business. Some good some bad ( no tip ). I remember one that I turned down. The lady wanted me to come upstairs and bring all of the shit down. Ha, in your dreams. I told her we were not a moving company. This folks is the standard answer when you don't want to do it..
Now I remember one fare in particular that turned into a very good fare. Not once but a lot of times. I got a call from the Days Inn on Dale Mabry, I had to go in the back and knock on the room. It was around 9 or so, Not a problem that time of day. This girl and her "friend" said they were moving, the friend started bring stuff out he told me that he would bring it out himself, works for me, I went to the car and turned the meter on, also standard procedure. Believe me it was a load. I took them to the Holiday Inn Express on North Dale Mabry. Shit short fare, the meter said $14.00+, not much for the time invested. However, her "friend" gave me $25.00. That was ok, but the good part of this story is I gave her my card and they called me numerous times when they wore their welcome out at that hotel and went to another one. Maybe tomorrow about the old man with the $10,000 check.
