Biju, I agree with you that we as expats are here in Qatar to earn money to support our family's needs. But would it be nice to earn money decently? I cannot see the logic of putting off the taxi meter because they are paid with low salaries. I cant even imagine these guys buying food from the money that was really intended as taxi meter sales for Karwa company and then putting it at their family's dining table? Well, I am willing to pay extra tip to a taxi driver who is honest and trust worthy enough not only to his passengers but to his company as well. In Qatar, money is easily earned but not the dignity and respect that we seldom seek especially at work.
