Driver was very rude

Driver was very rude. Preboooked a taxi this morning with a stop added on to it. Advised the driver of this when we got in to be told i never added a stop and was trying to fleece her for the fare. She asked if we had done this before and questioned why we wanted that stop. (3 passengers and one needed to get out there as they work in that area) after 5 minutes of accusations and abuse from driver she marked on the app that she had picked us up where the location that i had already told her we had added showed up on her side. Turns out all she needed to do to see the booking was confirm the pick up could have saved her self from making the trip very uncomfortable She didn’t apologise and tried to tell me i misunderstood her when she was asking if we often try to fleece drivers out of a fare. Really unhappy with how we was treated
