Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted March 9, 2020 Paid Members Posted March 9, 2020 Before that @DCW is that other great Irish parade that starts tomorrow, The Cheltenham Festival. Quarter of a million people over 4 days with horses and stable staff coming from all of the UK, Ireland, and France. How that is still on I don't know. Quote
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted March 9, 2020 Paid Members Posted March 9, 2020 I got in a taxi on Friday night, the driver turned to me and pointed hand sanitiser at me, I said “no I’m good thanks”, he then said “you can use it or get out of the car”. At the time I just grinned and went along with it, however, I’ve been thinking a lot more about it and whilst it doesn’t bother me personally that much, he’s surely treading on some sketchy ground there isn’t he? Forcing people to rub liquid on their hands from his bottle, or they can’t have a ride. I appreciate ‘his cab, his rules’, so things like no eating and drinking, no muddy boots, no dogs etc, but telling passengers they must use his liquid sanitiser is absolutely crackers is it not?

What's the harm in doing that? Seems reasonable to me. More unreasonable would be for someone to refuse to do it when asked. Quote

You might have a skin condition or intolerance to whatever the fuck is in his bottle. You should be allowed to refuse without being removed from a taxi. I highly doubt the company has it in policy either. Quote

If someone asks you to use it when you get in their taxi then why not just use it. Quote
Loki Posted March 9, 2020 Author Posted March 9, 2020 Surely he has the right to refuse service to whoever he wants? I think it's a completely reasonable precaution to be honest. Quote
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted March 9, 2020 Moderators Posted March 9, 2020 He's a taxi driver. He's almost definitely cum in it. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 9, 2020 Moderators Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Either that or it's filled with some kind of soluble date rape drug that can be absorbed through the skin. The future is now! Edited March 9, 2020 by Chest Rockwell Quote

Well if it was it was fucking rubbish. All of his questions were rhetorical and virus focused. I also ended up £9.50 down. Quote
