Car with Uber sign pulls up:
Him: Hey, you need a taxi?
Me: Great (hops in). Going to 37th between 7th and 8th.
Him: 25 dollars, ok?
Me: You’re kidding. I’ll get a cab. Wait, aren’t you supposed to be cheaper than a cab in New York? (working on my phone while talking)
Him: Ok, 20 dollars man. Best I can do. I’m picking you up on the street, not with Uber.
Me: It’s a 10 dollar ride!
Him: Best I can do, man.
Me: What’s your name?
Him: Tells me.
Me: Ok. I’m here
Him: What?
Me: I’m here. I just ordered an Uber. You’re the closest (shows him my iPhone with a 15 dollar estimate and his car ID blinking right under my pin)
Him: Ok, my man. Let’s go.
