Well I use a local app which summons both taxis and ride sharing, I can choose which one. I also have the option to choose the payment method upfront, cash or card and I must have accidentally pressed cash although I meant card. Accidents happen, right, that's the way of life.
Anyhow upon arriving at the destination, the driver had no card reader whatsoever and I had no cash whatsoever (although I usually do precisely because money in the bank and money in the hand do make a difference here). The ATM machine was like 50 meters away and I didn't request the driver to drive me there, although I would have paid for that too. Just walk there, he can wait for me and I'll compensate his time anyway. He started yelling, threatened to beat me, wouldn't let me go get money so I started evaluating my options of smacking him. Fortunately it was HIM who said he'll call the police, which gave me relief and wholeheartedly said "please do!". Which police, upon arrival did nothing but get my ID card and wait until I walked to the ATM, withdraw money, pay the nutbag, tip him even (!!!!) and then return my ID. Which is precisely how the whole thing should have went were not for the weirdo.
Bonus, next day I discovered I was banned from the taxi application. Getting in touch with a human operator was a pain in the ass, found the asshole driver reported me as "not having paid". Which was a gross lie, unfortunately it didn't occur to me to get the police car number or officer's IDs so I have a witness. And apparently that was all it took, one driver reporting me, doesn't matter the long history of using the app (and paying), suspended without any investigation, confirmation or at least notifying me why the fuck I suddenly I can't log in. Fucking pieces of shit corporations!
Anyhow, there was some procedure apparently that if the "guilty by default without proof or warning" made a recourse, they would contact the driver. Which driver never replied so they re-instated my login credentials. I hate them deeply to this day, fortunately the corporation behind the app went bust and I've replaced it with another one.
I have no delusions anymore on the viciousness of the system, I'm only good as long as I pay and they'd fuck me without warning on the first imagined whim. But there's no alternative so I hafta use these apps.
Oh, and thank you fellow HNers for screwing (downvoting) me a second time for sharing a story on how getting screwed by Kafkian corporations made me reconsider my options of using their services. You see, the software and systems that apply the "presumption of guiltiness" is precisely a reflection of people like you, hell is other people!
