More Palermo 'get out of the Taxi'

As Marci and I were walking in the Palermo district looking for a place to eat we watched these 4 kids pursue the just vacated outside table and drink leftover wine , beer and juice from customers that just left.  

A little of 'WAIT--- did you just see that'. Kinda like watching a homeless guy going through the trash. Marci and I didn't think it as a simple poverty thing  maybe a tough gang like thing.  Drinking age in BA is 18 years old

After our lunch, walking around, looking into shops we were trying to get to Palermo  Hollywood (really Marci was trying to get here) .  It was getting hot and confusing so we decided to grab a cab and head back to the Hotel.  We see a radio cab ( always the safest) and open the door, get in and ask him to take us to the Sofitel.  He said in Spanish he didn't know where it was.  I give him the card of the hotel with the address, he looks at it, (while driving of course, not a big deal) and again says he doesn't know that area.  During this time the radio is loud in the back speaker and I can't really hear asking him repetirlo por favor .  He repeats it and says get out of the cab,'salir de la taxi' but still driving.  Marci and I say  to each other did he say get out .  We look at each other thinking with what little Spanish  we know together wait did he say get out, WTF !!   

The radio is so loud, I can't hear, I say 'cerrado la radio por favor'(pure guess).  He shuts off the radio and repeats it but now we understand he wants us to get out  and find another cab but he wanted to put us where there were other cabs.  Ah comprende sí, sí. 

He drove a bit farther and did just that, no charge of course!!!!!!
