Not quite on topic-but has it become commonplace to for taxis to charge the fare in advance?
I became very hostile with a driver some weeks ago-a firm I've used for about ten years. He tried to charge me upfront for a short journey that I make often. The fare is usually about £6 and he wanted £10 upfront.
I am open to it in certain situations but he told me most taxi drivers do it now, which I think was a lie.
