Nah but you might say something like “I’ve heard it’s good” “it’s really popular” “apparently such and such is better” forget the tips, that was a joke. I’m talking more about being a normal human. If I got in a taxi somewhere and asked about a tourist attraction and they just answered with “no idea I’m not a tourist” I’d think... well I’d better not say what I’d think of the driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually being truthful, I'd answer, I've heard its shit / overpriced etc There's no point making eating recommendations because most people have no taste and no idea what really constitutes good.

I don’t think taxi drivers should be tourist information officers. I just think most humans should be, I dunno, polite. Let alone someone in a customer facing job. If someone asked me a question, regardless of whether I was a taxi driver or not, I’d try not to be a word removed when I answer them Edited July 19, 2019 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said be a normal human being. You must know something about these attractions. Would it kill you to say something about them? and would it kill you to not be a miserable sod when you do it? Obviously you can do your job however you like. I’m just saying if a taxi driver spoke to me like that, Well again I can’t say what I’d think. But it wouldn’t be positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
