Re: Batam Info Thread
I noticed there are some complains over drivers taking commission from place they bring their customers to. Maybe bros should understand that ALL TAXI drivers get commission from EVERYWHERE.
Hotel :
Many hotels will pay "outside" taxi 10-20K for each customer bought in.
Gal Joints :
All KTV will pay taxi driver commission for any gals booked by their customers, min 50-80k. If you are going to book a gal from fishtank ALONE, without any driver, U can get a discount from the joint, just state U came alone without any taxi driver. If u never say, most likely some guy hanging outside there will enter the joint and claim his "commission" once he see you left with a gal without any taxi driver.
Makan places:
More expensive place like golden prawns gives 10% commission to the taxi drivers. If you state U are not with any drivers, can get 15% discount from total bill. Even with driver U talk to the oldman ask for discount, then he will not give the driver any commission. U can tip ur driver with the $ saved. Even U eat Nasi Padang, the driver also get at least 1 bottle of aqua or a pack of ciggi. So I believe even eating at the foodcourts the driver gets commission.
So if few bros together u can see the taxi driver gets more commission than the actual taxi fare. If bros qin chai with the driver and did not stop them from getting commission, you can tekan the cost of "hiring" his service. If the fucking driver so hard to nego price, just dun use him or pay the flat price but make sure U save other $ from commission.
