Was at Mercadona the other day and tried to call for a taxi when I had too much stuff to carry back home. No one answered the number, so I googled and got a different number for the same company. Tried that, and it disconnected. Went back into the shop and asked them to call one, and there was one outside the door in —no joke— 90 seconds.
Do they have a new number? The one I had been using for years was 136-004. The one google gives me is 166-510. Are either of these still working, or does anyone have a new number if there is one?

That's the one I've always used, and given to other people. I didn't know about Duck's numbers.

That is also the number I have, I do know there was another number circulating a month or so back, 928541257 that was causing a bit of confusion in The Bar I use, but that turned out to be Rosario Taxi,s, but do not recognise the one Ducks is/was using

That's because I'm an idiot who made a typo.
I have been using the 163-004 (163, not 136) number like the rest of you, but had no joy with it this time... And that was not a typo because it's saved in my phone and always worked before!

That fits with my experience. Yet I know the shops are able to reach them somehow...
Next person who takes a taxi run, do us all a a favour and ask if they have a new number?

I would have thought that Mercadonna has some Drivers numbers that they call, and do not use the office numbers, I used to have one until he retired 5/8 months back.

Actually, that's very possible, but in the pre-
COVID days before I got the hang of speaking to them on the phone, we used to get them to ring for us every week. Always a different person, though obviously things may be different now.
The sheer speed of the driver's arrival was what impressed me. If they do have a particular person they call, they must be parked up behind IKEA— or at the bus station, at the
absolute furthest. Nobody could have gotten from the rank in town in the time it took that taxi to show unless they were driving the Enterprise.

Once again I am struggling with taxis. Asked the guy last week for a card and he gave me one with the 004 number on it, which still goes straight to an "unavailable number" recording, and a second number that doesn't get answered apparently ever. Yet again, Mercadona are able to get a guy to the door in less than three minutes.
What number are they calling?! I hate having to ask and put people in the shop out when I could do it myself.
Anyone else have any numbers I can use, or am I the only one for whom the 004 number is a no go?
