Doha Taxis: Pay What You Want?

So I've spent the past couple of days in Doha (thanks for the condolences). The city is about as exciting as watching paint dry, and that's being generous.

It's somewhat rare that I take taxis nowadays. I always try to stick to public transportation or Uber when possible, as I find taxis to just be a pain. Either they rip you off or are so nice that it's suspicious.

But I took three taxi rides in Doha, and all three of them left me confused. When I got in the taxis they didn't turn on the meter. When I asked them to, they said "don't worry about it, you just pay what you want."
