Recently, an online community posted an article titled "Look at Incheon taxi drivers."
Author A began his article by saying, "An elderly man who came to his home country after 20 years from Hawaii took a taxi from Incheon International Airport to Juan Station around 7 p.m. on the 10th."
According to the article, the taxi fare was about 51,000 won, but the elderly who visited their home country for the first time in a long time mistook the 50,000 won bill as the previous 5,000 won bill and paid 11 50,000 won bills to the driver.
He paid 550,000 won for the taxi, more than 10 times the 51,000 won.
Mr. A, who is believed to be an employee of the accommodation, said, "I also found out by chance. He asked me how much it costs to stay a day, so I said 35,000 won, and he gave me seven 50,000 won bills. At first, he thought he had dementia and told me about the situation 10 minutes ago when he said he only needed to pay a 50,000 won ticket.
Mr. A said, "I really blushed. Let's not be embarrassed even if we don't have money. I'm not that nice person either, but I'm really embarrassed. If you see this article, please return it because (the elderly) will be in Korea until the end of this month. "Making 500,000 won doesn't make you rich," he said.
Netizens who encountered the story responded, "It's a difference that is hard to mistake for a tip, so would it be comfortable to receive it?" and "Please call the Incheon International Airport transportation management team and make sure they are punished."
