Why do car repair shops always assume you can leave while they work on your car? (lemmy.world)

Serious question. I only have the one car. I know there are people with more money than sense that have more cars than they can actually drive at a time, and that there are couples who may or may not be able to drive their SO to the mechanic. But how can they _assumef that I can even afford a cab, well Uber these days, when I'm about to have them hundreds of dollars getting my busted-ass, POS car fixed?

Do you get shitty at pilots for landing the plane and just assuming everyone on board is good to get home from the airport, or would you like them to pay for 200 cab fares as well?

It's their job to fix people's shitty cars, not their shitty life admin skills.

Hell yeah, I'd like them to pay me £200 to get me home. Who doesn't want free money? ✈️

Then the tickets would go up by £200 each, and you wouldn't have the option to take the train or something else.
