Yeah, no shit. I've been refused service a few times (though not in Vancouver) because I was going a short distance. Usually it was for specific circumstances (one was in a city I was not familiar with, and the other was during a downpour where I didn't have an umbrella to get home and trip was about 2 miles) For the ones that do take me, I usually tip them very well (usually I double the fare to make it worth their while)
