Review of Alberta Co-op Taxi

I take taxis quite often, and have been using coop...

I take taxis quite often, and have been using coop exclusively the last 3 months. I have had rude drivers, drivers who can't find an address even when using GPS, and drivers who refuse to take directions on where to go, despite the fact it's my money that's paying for it. All of this I have taken in stride without much complaint, tonight though took the proverbial cake. I was heading home from a friend's and as usual the cabbie was lost, and took 10 minutes after the call saying he was outside, to arrive. When i got home I realized I had forgotten my keys and called co op to see if they could deliver them, enter assclown#1, this dispatcher treated me with all the respect given to a heroin addict soliciting sex for money, asking me repeatedly how I was paying for the fare, a whopping $10, and was told 3-4 times the fare would be paid in cash. Finally having enough of being treated this way, I told him you know who the fare is for and know how often I take taxis, yet you insist on treating me like I'm trying to rip you off, to which he replied I'm just doing my job
. I have never been asked more than one time how the fare was being paid, let alone 3-4 times in the same 1 minute span. I take to bring treated shabbily by a company about as well as I take to castration.....I don't, goodbye coop, hello uber.....
Ps. They finally say they would deliver the keys 35 minutes ago, the distance between 114 ave 137 st and 124 ave and 142 st is not that far, could it be that co-op is lost again, or did the poor pathetic dispatcher failure have a final laugh? I started writing this review at 3:47, it's now 4:24..... Cab called at 430 said he was out front, I said no your not, I am and don't see you, he asked for the address I told him, he says they gave him the wrong address, I hang up, walk to the corner and see a Co-op taxi doing a U-turn and going the other way!! FINALLY@440 am, my keys are returned 55 minutes from my call for a 5 minute trip, never again!
