Mort, I think your experience just shows, that it can and will happen - people do forget, cars do break down.
I know both of them and have serious doubts that they would try to cheat anyone on purpose. It's a small island and nobody really can afford to operate like that!
We only heard one side of the original poster. We do not know how she approached Willie. If one is already ticked off, she might have accused instead of just trying to get her money back, it escalated ...
Willie is a personal friend and I know him to be anything but cheap or unreliable (and I too have waited, but that IS the culture)!
Maybe we have learned to pay the $3 on the way to Flamenco and then say, if offered the $5 roundtrip - deal, 'cool I will pay you the $2 when you pick me up at XY' or 'here's $2 now and I will give you the $3 on the way back, at XY'
Enjoy Culebra!
Michael
