Asleep on the job

Tuk tuk drivers have two business strategies:

1. Bark and whoop at passersby until they tell them they don't need a tuk tuk, usually after just alighting from one directly in view or rejecting another tuk tuk driver 2 metres away.

2. Be sleeping like the dead and be impossible to rouse even when dollars are being thrust under their nose.

As a tuk tuk user, some middle ground would be welcome.
