The only time we jump in the back seat of a vehicle driven by a total stranger is when we need a cab. No questions asked, with no doubt we will arrive at our destination safe and sound. This week I doubted this on more than one occasion. Three cab drivers in a row had to consult their Melway's to deliver me to my destination, while attempting to navigate their vehicle in city traffic (one even considered answering his mobile until I cracked it!!). When I offered directions to one said driver he essentially told me I didn't know what I was talking about. Funny how the Melway offered him the same directions???? In this technically advanced society and with an industry that "should" rely heavily on customer service, what ever happened to every cab driver knowing their way around or owning a GPS!!!??
By the time came to travel to my last appointment that would result in a fare in the vicinity of $60 my patience was running thin. But to my surprise I encountered an amazing stranger who not only KNEW where he was expected to go BUT offered to what and return me to my office safe and sound!! This stranger I now call Martin.
