I normally cycle home but due to injuring my foot on the weekend got a taxi home it’s a 20 mins walk or around a £4 taxi. When I went to pay him I apologised for only having a £20 note for my 4.20 fair I apologised he was so angry was saying how unfair it was start of his shift he I would use all his change. Said I would have a look in my bag and coat pocket I managed to gather up 4.60 in change but it took me a whole bag was full of work stuff and change was all in the bottom of my bag and I only had a few coins in my coat pocket. I tried to be as quick as I could but he kept hurrying me saying he could of been to (insert name of place) and back in the time I was taking just of taken 3 mins max. He then huffed and when I handed him the money he said how much is there I said 4.50 or 4.60 is that correct he said I don’t no I don’t have time to count and when I said keep the change he said i don’t care about change

In my opinion anyone who doesn’t take cash in 2018 is being ridiculous they are either lazy or trying to dodge tax.

YANBU he was rude. How are you supposed to know it was the start of his shift? It's nothing to do with you.

Plenty of cab drivers don't take cards outside of big cities. Contactless isn't the norm everywhere.

Hell, I even know pubs which don't take card!
