The Yellow Cab driver, Alphonso, picked me up from my hotel at 5:15am, driving me to the airport. After he had driven a few feet, he began insisting I pay him in cash. When I told him I didn’t carry much cash, he tried to take me to an ATM. It was pitch dark! I refused and told him I would pay with a credit card. He kept insisting on cash and a tip. When I finally arrived home, I called the cab company to complain about the driver’s harassment, but the«owner» said the driver told him he did me a favor by offering a deep discount if I paid cash. He said he was the driver’s cousin and believed him rather than me. It turned out, he was actually Alphonso, not his cousin. So what is the result of harassing a woman traveling alone in California? I will use Über from now on.
