Oh brother. It is their job to pick people up. I wish I had the choice of what I wanted to do at work. Nope I have to do what I am paid to do. Cabbies are not special and should have to pick up who they see needs a cab cuz it is their JOB.
Are you kidding? They are independent businessman, and should be able to maximize their ability for income like anyone else. Should YOU have to do business with people who you know will put you at physical risk or won’t pay?
