深夜 12時前、お店の内外のチエックをして、さあ~~今日も無事故に仕事が終った!
急ぎ自宅へ、ハ~~イ .タクシー と、手を上げ車の中へ入り、シートベルトのチエック
行き先場所を伝え出発~~
車が動き出したと思いきや、運転手さんから「お客さん!今日は信じられない事が
あり、17人のお客さんから乗り入れを拒否され.....もう嫌で、今日限りで
この会社辞めたくなったと」絶句
どうゆう事ですか？と、問うて見たところ、今の車はセダンタイプ
3年前から、荷物と乗り入れがしやすく、室内の空間も良い
「ジャパン タクシー」が、目立つようになり、お客様からも定評がある車を
選んでいるように見えると険しい顔の表情で語られ
ようやくお客様に乗って頂いたと....苦笑い
その後運転手さんも、気分が落ち着いた所で
私からの一言、運転手さん~~今日は偶然にもそんなお客様が多かったのではないですか？
コロナ禍で、一人でも多く売り上げを上げたい一心ですが、
良い笑顔で、お客様を迎えて頑張って下さいと伝え..自宅前に到着

...車を選ぶより乗った瞬間、室内の空気が行き届いているか
行き場所を伝え、近くまで気持ちよく乗せてもらう、プロの自覚を持っているか
最近50%近くプロの自覚を持っていない運転手が少ないように見える。
チョツト厳しい言葉…


Before midnight, I checked the closing of Enoki and finished my work safely that day.
I go back home by taxi usually.

"Hey taxi," I raised my hand, took a stopped taxi, and fastened my seat belt.
As soon as I told him where I was going, the driver spoke to me.
"Could I tell today's unlucky story? There was something I couldn't believe today.
I was denied boarding by as many as 17 customers!
This is the first time since I became a taxi driver. I wanted to quit this company for today only. Thank you for riding anyway! "

I was wondering why so many 17 people hated his taxi. It's an ordinary taxi no matter where I look.
I asked him why his taxi was rejected.

Apparently, his taxi is a conventional sedan type,
but since about three years ago, small minivan-type taxis from "Japan Taxi", which makes it easy for luggage to enter and the interior space feels wide, have gradually increased in Tokyo.
He said with a stern look that he might be out of business with an old-fashioned type of car like him, as a new driver chooses a car that is popular with customers and operates as a taxi.

After that, the driver also seemed to feel calm.
I arrived at home and told him before getting off.
"Mr, you were unlucky today. Due to the recession caused by the coronavirus, I can understand you would like to sell as much as possible, but please do your best with a good smile and welcome customers."
He also smiled and left.

In my personal opinion, rather than choosing the shape of the car, I'm more concerned about how well the room is cleaned the moment I get in.
Also, I think how much a driver knows good way to arrive, having professional awareness when I tell them where to go and making customers feel comfortable while they drive.
Nearly 50% of taxi drivers these days feel that many drivers don't have professionalism.
It's a bit of a strict word... but I hope try to do their best.
