WTF, it says Visa right on your window.
"Sorry, you have to tell me you are paying visa. Do you have cash? I can drive you to a bank machine"
No, I only have Visa.
"Visa machine doesn't work"
etc etc etc
It's ridiculous. Not only do I have to fight for a cab, I have to explicitly tell the driver I am using a visa, like it's some kind of evaluation whether or not I'm allowed into his private clubhouse. All I want is a ride home and someone to take my money. It shouldn't be that hard.

As far as I know, there is no rule you need to tell them up front you're using Visa. With credit cards the cabbies don't get their money for about 30 days, so they want cash - but you have every right to pay with a card.
