How to Not Get into Town...

If you bothered to listen to the announcements this morning before class started, you may have noted there was a blurb about not taking taxis to go shopping.
Some of my newspaper friends and I decided it would be a fun way to pass the time and get to know each other if we all went to Urban Outfitters and looked around there. One of us called a cab to take us, but we had to split up as there were so many of us. Apparently, right after we left, someone came and grilled her about where we had gone and what we were doing. Being the wonderful person she is, our friend said she refused to give names and if anyone was getting in trouble, it would be her.
Turns out, you are only supposed to take the cabs to the airport or the bus station.
The first cab arrived safely at the store and only found out about this whole situation after our wonderful friend called us to inform us we would be walking back to our dorms.
When we got back, we were not kicked out or told we were only allowed to go to class... We were just told to stay away from calling taxis.
Easy enough of a solution, right?

(I'm thinking to save us all from embarassment I'll stay annonymous.)
