Damn, that’s a steep hike. Glad you guys weren’t gonna roll over on that one. The sad thing is that I bet people just pay it all the time.

Definitely sounds like a solid outcome. Maybe I could have kept my mouth shut and tried some negotiating at the ride’s end. Probably not worth the stress in the end.

In a perfect world, my hope is that he’ll think twice before pulling that stunt on an unsuspecting person, if a fine sticks. Who knows how many times it’s worked in the past, and I’m sure he’s not going to magically stop because I called him out on it.
The reimbursement idea doesn’t bother me much because I paid what I expected. If anything, I saved with a stiff tip.
