I believe this is second to none. We have here in the Philippines what we call BARKER. You’ll wonder what it is. Sounds like a dog? LOL Of course they’re not. These are people who assist drivers in getting passengers whether the drivers like it or not. Yes. That’s what they’re doing! In my case, I always fall in line and wait for more or less 15 minutes before I can take a ride going to work. This is every night except during Satudays and Sundays. If I’m lucky enough, I’ll be the first on line but this seldom happens. There was a time I was on the 20th. I had no choice but to walk not to be late.

Look at that. Who needs a barker? But I’m telling you. There is always a barker. Sometimes the whole family is present. They have a pen and a paper and take note of every tricycle that leaves and asked/forced the driver to give a tip. I don’t pity those barkers. There are other jobs which are worth their time but they are so lazy they choose to be a barker. I also believe there are some in authority who are behind this scheme that’s why these barkers have the guts to force the drivers to always give them a tip.
