"Taken for a ride"

I have been using the "village taxi" at least twice a week for well over twenty years and not once in all that time did I complain about waiting a ridiculous amount of time for the cab to show..at times up to 30 mins wait...getting into the cab only to find I am sharing the back seat with a totally inebriated person  and at least 4 out of 5 times the driver will stop to pick up one and at times 2 other fares...guess who was always the last to get dropped off??  So to say I was upset at what they done yesterday would be putting it mildly..I left my cell phone in the cab and immediately called the cab company who promptly drove back  to return it to me but not for nothing..I had to pay full fare once again. So my ride from westchester Ave to Pearl St. cost $10..I always tip the drivers and when the driver returned the phone I stupidly included a second tip without thinking.   Needless to say they lost a long standing and loyal customer.  Now I gotta get to work but it will certainly be without the service of the village taxi service!!
