Gosh, so many holier than thou drivers here, claiming "they would be happy to wait." Why can't we be honest? I absolutely hate waiting around and I know many other drivers do too.
I get whopping $0.15 a minute and that's before Uber takes its 25% cut. (Maybe it's better in other cities.) That's like $6 an hour, lower than minimum wage. I hear other drivers saying it's better than not having a passenger, but it sucks compared to when we are driving a passenger.
We get paid the most while driving and the vehicle moving. On a busy night, this kils productivity and earnings. If I sat around all night waiting for people picking up their dates, I wouldn't be able to earn a living.
Please just complete the trip and order another one. That isn't that hard, right? Booking fee is like $2 to $3.
You a rider? How are you using PayPal to pay Uber? I didn't even know that was possible.
I believe even when get you with a speed gun, they would check the box that says ,"Estimated." At least that's how they've written me up in the past. I actually wonder if this is always checked when measured by a human officer. (instead of those automated cameras)
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter to the police or judge. It's your word against his/hers. (The policeman's word holds a certain level of credibility.)
Collect as much proof as you can. Go get tested right away. Go grab the webcam recordings. Anything to prove your innocence when you dispute this with Uber.
I think your friend is right. Many people are overpowered by the smell of air fresheners, regardless of their scene. Remember you are sitting in it for hours and are probably getting used to it.
I have also heard that some people are allergic to air fresheners.
Yeah, they are taking advange of the lack of national registry and our inability to check. People lie their a$$es off on this stuff. Makes me so upset.
The entitlement that you think you are so special! How do you think it's okay to pretend you are handicapped (or whatever). That's pretty bad.
I don't know if it's the desperation as they were denied services before by drivers or that they are just jerk-offs.
Wow. Only perk I aso did is for the new app to not crash on me all the time. Then this guy...
Why does this site seem to get these cries for help. No pay, no ride! :)
I haven't read it yet, but I am sure it's a sugar coated nothing. Sorry. The fact there is a huge loss in just perfomring the pickup means it's difficult to make a profit. and we can't forget the obvious booking fee
The only thing it has going is the new flat surge bonus.
Here's my favorite. Should go back to this.
I can't see it either. Why are there drivers out there who keep saying it's there?
Is this some weird glitch or are there multiple versions out there?
My car is my property. Inside it is a private property. You have no say in what I can have, and please leave me alone.
I know we all love dogs, but can we please keep their mess and slobber to their owner's cars?
I overheard a passenger talking to her friend about how she was taking an Uber because she didn't want to be transporting her dog in her new Prius. Umm....what?! This is my own personal car, thank you. I get paid to take you around, not your extra mess.
It's like how some people go to the laundromat to wash weird stuff that may hurt their own machines. Like shoes, grime covered clothes, foot matts, etc.
I know this is a hypothetical thought exercise, but I cannot think anything else but expenses associated. UberX drivers make such low margins that we cannot be offering anymore amenities. I was almost offended when I saw this question.
If the riders tipped more, I think I would provide things. ...but they don't. and that's regardless of whether I have amenities or not. I ran experiments and I didn't see much difference.
Surprised to not have seen this one
Passengers who do NOT stay at the pin. Those who are not at the correct or specified location!!! This is the worst!
Close second are those who cannot take a "no" for an answer. This is for those who dictate a route that isn't recommended by GPS, those who ask to bring a pet (while I am saying no), and those who tell me to wait several minutes for a friend to show up
Guys we can all get along if we understood that "no means no."
FIVE MINUTES. Not a second longer!! (see, that's when we can collect the no-show.)
You better run, because I a gonna start driving exactly at 5:00. Catch me if you can.
I try to not pay attention to this metric. I'd rather be safe and trust my gut when cancelling. Not worried about this stupid metric.
WHAT. That seems completely crazy to me.
In one way I appreciate it, but in another way, I am more convinced that Uber is just paying out whatever they want to pay us. That's discouraging to me. As a self-employed person, I would like to know exactly how much I am making and I prefer to know the exact percentage.
You can ask, but I don't think you can force them to shut it off. As you mentioned, the car is their private property, so it's like being in theiri home.
However, I am sure you have the right to NOT take the ride. No, I am not trying to be mean. It's just about coming to an agreement between you and the driver.
As a rider? I don't think anyone cares.
You pay money. You are good.
Gosh, guru. Such a long-winded answer to a simple question.
Yes, just COMPLETE THE TRIP. Yep. Then YELL at the passenger to GET THE H*LL OUT. LOL.
Yes, you will get dinged with a one-star, if the drink has the coordination to do so.
