scottobearok. I called for my ride to get to my 10:30 appointment at 9:30. I called back at 9:45, 10am, and just now.
This is the downside of calling a cab, and not having a friend available to drive at this hour. I imagine that the clown that got my call is "stacking", illegally using a modified meter and tracker to take more than one call at a time. the thing they don't know is that when you call back every 10 minutes or so, dispatch figures these things out, and turns off their meter for a period of 1-3 hours, depending. I'm guessing that I've shut of two such drives this morning, and that gives me some satisfaction... however, I need to be at the doctor's in 15 minutes, and it's a 10 minute drive.
