Sorry iPhone. As the name suggest. And I do pay those merchant fees. However. Every cent I pay. I can write off on my taxes. So merchant is in fact not losing a dime. Unless he is hiding from Uncle Sam. And when you buy that two dollar coffee. You can be sure fee is added. So if customer ride and 5 bucks want to use credit card.  I say have at it. Fact from taxi guy view.

You can be sure as taxi guy. Cash is king. But I don't hold against person if they wat to use plastic. Way of new world. I fact I use to judge business guys with say 15 cards. I used to say. Bamf. If you understand. But not now I say mabe he is wise. Still I believe some are just broke. Hehee

This may sound horrible. But most are not American born. So no. They want cash at all times.  Hehehe but I only changed when I got my first 50 reward check from cap 1

I know and i can tell the taxi drivers aren't all that happy about it. I took an taxi from GCT to Penn station , and i paid with CC i could see in taxi drivers face not too happy.

Well I encourage my passengers to use credit card. And they are so happy. They tip accordingly. I must admit. Out of company. Only 5 drivers like myself. But we are the ones making great. No attitude. Happy disposition. People can sense it.

I tell them I tip them 20% which then they seem fine with. I undertsand this is their living and tipping 20% or more would off set the fees no ? typically i would tip them around 16% if paid in cash
