So there is this point he will just say the nice food, the coffeeshop owner will just state the price as there is no menu. Even if the price is over, the driver also won't say anything or rather can't comment much. As a tourist i also paiseh to reject what the driver recommend right.
Actually after the first trip. I found that a lot of chinese there. There is no problem communicating at all. If no menu, just ask the price of the dishes.At least u filter thru before deciding to order or not. If u feel not worth just go to other shop like a normal customer. If the driver show u, hardly u will reject even if u think it is over like my case.
Btw don't be naive. Driver is a sideline job, he is not ur personal friend or what. All sideline is to earn to the maximum as much as possible. U believe in treating him good he will help u bring down the price? I think he don't eat comission and show u the real price is good enough already lo.

There you have it. I already posted here driver can easily earn income from here and there. But a bro here said driver also need to earn a living. I did not say we dont give him commission. Actually with regards to driver or taxi, it had been mentioned numerous times in this thread or batam thread. Just that some people lazy to read thru and started accusing me of causing panic here. Sure, me a newbie.
But i think he only want to hear positive news. Dont just think of enjoying yourself with eyes closed. You better open your eyes and know what is going around you as well. Driver can only help you that much.
