Worst cab driver EVER
Last night, my family and myself went to Canmore for New Years dinner. We called went to Gauchos and had called cabs to pick us up and take us back to the hotel. There was 8 of us, so we needed 2 cabs to take us back. 4 of us ladies took the 1st can that came and the second we got in, things went badly. The cabbie was extremely rude and announced that it was double fare because of NYE, we said we have never heard that before, but ok, that was fine. He then sat in front of the restaurant and turned the meter on and left it on. We asked him if he was planning on driving and he snapped at us and told us "We need to learn a lesson on patience." When our friend who was sitting in the front turned around and said Hi to us, he snapped and said if he hears anymore from us he is kicking us out. My sister called him out on texting and driving with us in the cab and he yelled at us saying "He has been doing this job for a week and a half and he knows what he is doing." When our friend turned around and said that she was glad that the men weren't in this cab, the cabbie pulled over in a not safe spot and told us to "Get out". He was going the wrong way to our hotel and thankfully we were only a 5 minute walk to our hotel. He was threatening to call the police and we were not drunk or beligierent, we just wanted to get back to our hotel!! The cab driver refused to give us his name and number. I took a picture and video of the confrontation. After he kicked us out, I called the cab company and filed a complaint. The cab company itself was great and very apologetic, but this cab driver of car 73 deserves to lose his job and should not be able to work with the public. He tried to rip us off with the double fare, tried to take the wrong way to make more money from us and told us to get out in a place that was not safe.
