Once
a week or so there is an altercation on the radio. This usually occurs because drivers because of a wrong, or
an alleged wrong that has taken place.
Today Kirk (Sling Blade) was accused of taking a fare without calling it
in as he often does. Since the
office wasn’t informed that he had a fare he was allowed to keep his spot in
the cab order. Understandably this
causes tension between the drivers.
When Geppetto called him out on the radio an argument ensued.
Julie: Cab 03
Kirk: Cab 03
Julie:
Go t--- th--- V—n-- gro—ery store.
Kirk:…10-9
(repeat)
Julie: Go to the V---s gro---c—y st—e!!!
Kirk: Vons, 10 – 4.
That queer Polack is playing with the radio again.
Julie: Stop it!
Geppetto: He already took a ride.
Kirk: No, you’re just seeing things again.
Geppetto:
No, you just took a ride, give it to another driver.
Kirk:
No, I don’t play those games like you.
Unknown Driver: Who’s the queer? (Mocking Kirk)
Julie: Stop it!!!
Kirk: Why don’t you meet me in the alley. Bring a crowbar.
Geppetto:
Oh yeah, what are you going to try to do with me back there.
Kirk: Come and see.
Geppetto: Why don’t you come and meet me on the
street?
Kirk: Oh what a coward.
This
is strange on a few levels. It’s
entirely possibly that Geppetto just imagined seeing Kirk take a ride
earlier. His senses aren’t all
that sharp anymore. Although,
given Kirks history, it is likely that he did pick up a passenger earlier and
not call it in.
First,
it isn’t considered a problem for Kirk to be dishonest at work, the problem
occurs when someone speaks up about it.
Secondly, this informal
street justice doesn’t seem to be frowned upon, especially if it is discussed
off of the air. And lastly, it
doesn’t seem to be a problem that we have sociopaths that work for the company
and berating the passengers.
I
believe Kirk has starting writing his Memoirs recently -
