Okay, this is off the topic of expensive beer, but how does that work? Wouldn't the cab driver discover that you weren't going to pay when you got to the airport? By then, wouldn't it be too late for them to dump you somewhere? Do they lock you in the cab and drive you somewhere else to dump you by the side of the motorway?
Anyway, the moral of the story is: don't take beer from strangers, which makes me sad. Does "tout" mean "overpriced beer prostitute" or something else?
