Taxi 25045, most obnoxious and rude driver I’ve ever had the displeasure of experiencing. We have saved hard to go to Barbados and stayed in T3 Hotel. In order to experience Virgin First Class from end to end we waited in the taxi rank. We got in the taxi and asked to go to T3 Virgin First Class which is a separate entrance to T3 arrivals. He refused to take us and told us we were taking the p*ss and at first refused. The taxi rank Coordinator had to get on the radio and the driver was told by control that he would be removed from service if he refused the job. Again we were told we were taking the p*ss and he threw the last case in to the cab and slammed the door. He took us where we needed to go at speed accelerating quick and breaking hard so cases were rolling around on their wheels aggressively. When we got to the point of disembarking we tried to give him an extra tip for his trouble and he refused it, calling us the laziest couple he had ever met. Granted we could have walked across all of T3 from Hotel to Arrivals but we would have missed the experience of arriving by car and being greeted at the Virgin First Class entrance with a smile and good morning Sir. A life experience. So Mr Taxi Driver 25045 having spoilt what should have been a lovely experience and start to this morning, I hope you have a better day tomorrow. Whatever your view is you provide a service and should be professional at all times. You were not professional, not polite to a lady who you upset and spoilt the start to a day of a lifetime experience. I hope you are proud of yourself.
