>Not just for the tip, but for the entire fare. They openly commit fraud against their company by trying to steal the fare for themselves without reporting it to their company.

You think the company doesn't have access to the meter records for fares if keeping a percentage is part of the deal? If the driver keeps 100% of the cash, why pay 7% for a credit card?

I know in Chicago most of the drivers who rent their cab by the hour/day/week prefer to use square because the fees are lower and they get paid in a week or less, not the couple months the cab company takes to pay them, if they ever do.

Are you a taxi driver? You are being so apologetic towards a group of criminals, I have to assume you are one of them. Since when it is acceptable to ignore your employer's rules, to earn an extra 7%? Normal companies in any other industry would be be firing you on the spot, and probably seeing you in court, for this kind of bullshit. Truly moronic.
