A taxi priced in the va-mail
Ten minutes of lunar negotiation for a race announced at pulp prices. Welcome to Geneva!
Often the price of the taxi varies, very crazy that relys on it.
Lucien fortunate
In the hollow of the Geneva summer, the girlfriend Laurence has a professional meeting with a lady of a certain age. Let’s call it pink. It’s hot. The weather is nice. They find themselves on a plainpalais terrace. Rose came by taxi from her house. The race cost him 15 francs. So. I have planted the decor for you. Not exciting, the decor, okay. But wait for the addition.
At the end of a big hour of chatter, Laurence offers Rose to call her a taxi for her return home. “I no longer remembered the power plant that I usually use. I looked for Google and called the first site on the list. The one on which any tourist falls when arriving in town. ”
Small corner
At the end of the line, the employee, not hyperstaged, covers long on her keyboard. Then request the destination of the race. Mystery: Rose left the table. She went to the little corner. “I tell him and repeat that I don’t know. Simply send a car, we’ll get better with the driver. ” Well, no, impossible. Where are you going? At the station? The airport? The flowery clock? You need an address, otherwise nothing.
“I insist that it sends a vehicle anyway. The girl still turns two leads on her computer and announces the amount of the race to me: 55 francs. ” Fifty-five balls !!! “I fall from my chair and ask her how she came to this completely eccentric amount. I typed 1201 Geneva, she replied, and that’s it. ”
Meanwhile, Rose has returned from the toilet. She gives her address. It’s in the Pâquis. Same postal code, therefore, a coincidence. The announced price then drops, from 55 to… 50 francs. Too kind. “We had just lost 10 minutes. The exchange was completely lunar. I told him that we were going to do without his services. ” Rose left with the taxi that brought her. The nice taxi. The taxi at 15 bullets, what.
