Refusing customers who don’t want to go the long way from Plattsburgh NY to Burlington, VT - how do I tell them nicely?
No Mom! You are not wrong - I think that drivers should tip MORE than our average riders. That being said, stingy tipping drivers prove that there’s lots of jackasses in all lines of work! Hope you and yours are well and you are making lots of money because you are so nice !
Hi Fux, tips are their own reward. Tips have nothing to do with your rating, but at least you can spend your tips on something/anything. Your rating gets you nothing! So, good job and buy yourself something nice!
Hi Mom! The best I have ever seen up here in Podunk, NY is $2.50! Pitiful! Hope you and yours are well!
I agree with everything you said except for the ‘gouging’ comment. ( See My thread about driving in extreme weather, please.)
They probably sent the snow message to drivers in the Caribbean ! (Sorry, couldn’t resist!) Never got one where I am.
I am very sorry for the terrible things that we, as men, have done to you fightingignorance. My heart goes out to you, I hope you can, over time, find some peace and joy in your life! Best of luck to you, I am gonna say a little prayer for you (if you don’t mind) and Thank You for telling us your story.
I have been driving for a year - I’m a Diamond Uber driver with a 4.98 average, a Lyft driver with a 5.0 average and I don’t even know how to find a passenger’s rating on either ! Must be a big city thing! Out here in the boonies I take everybody everywhere!
It takes a while to go up or down Fuxchu because your rating is an average of your last 500 rated trips. Hang in there - in the long run - your average should stay solid, one or two bad ratings will not hurt you! Good Luck!
You could always try it for yourself and see if it is worth it and if you like it! Good Luck!😊
Hello All! 🙂Good News!🙂LyftSupport (Jennifer and Trimale) wrote to me today and informed me that my mileage will be added to my pay this week! 🙂 I am very happy and grateful to everyone here who helped me, especially Chawes and Uberserge! 🙂Have A Great Night!🙂
Thank You VERY Much Uberserge! (This is third time I have tried to Thank You!) I do not have screen shots but I do still have the texts from Jorge @ LyftSupport! I am very grateful for all of the wisdom you have given me today in your responses. You are very Kind! Thanks Again!
Tire was stuck underneath the rear hatch of the Tahoe and there was no way to loosen it. I called Uber Support after I could not find any other options on the App - closest I could find was Crashed Vehicle. I tried to get help from Uber but they were out of service where I was. I called my Insurance’s assistance line and they sent the tow truck to the wrong location even though my passenger and State Police heard me give correct location. Then NY State Trooper called another wrecker and they came within half an hour while the trooper sat behind us making sure cars did not get too close. My wife drove over 60 miles round trip taking my passenger and her grandson home and Uber says ‘That was nice!’ I had to pay $216 out of pocket for my tow and today paid $266 for a new tire and rotation. Now, Uber won’t let me work until their ‘team’ reviews everything!Ugh! Thanks for the help LG-PA! Pray for me !😊
I agree with you FlutterShy! I think that you are nice too! Thank You!
Hi Felicity, Goodideasll (Lou) , here again, just watching some basketball and catching up on my industry reading - not gonna disparage RedANT or his opinion but we all have problems and I completely believe you were in the right. Yes, you may not be perfect, (only my Wife is!), but your driver was over the top wrong and aggressive and I still apologize on behalf of all of us. If I am wrong, I know that you will let me know - okay, I know that is very sarcastic but I also know that RedANTand MOMOF4 are good people, so, like every good story, we shall endeavour to carry on! GoodNight and God Bless! And GOOD LUCK!
Thank You Mom(MOMOF4)! You Are Always There For Us! You Are The Special One! I call my Mom Everynight and Listen but You Go Out Of Your Way To Help All Of Us! Thank You!!!!!
Been waiting NINE MONTHS for an answer - guess we’ll never know!🤷🏽♂️
Yes, I usually accept all pings and then get upset later when I feel as if I was metaphorically screwed!🙂PS My Mom’s middle name is Mae and my Dad called her Maisie for 61 years! 🙂Thanks! You made me smile!🙂
Thanks DDominico- I was gonna say, “Whatchu talking about Willis?” - that 20 min , 1 mile scenario just happened to me about 2 weeks ago AND Uber sent me down the wrong street for an extra 5 minutes. Drove the lady about 1.2 miles and headed back toward Plattsburgh - a 35 mile trip and about an hour for $8.00 ! Thanks Uber!😊How do you know to turn down these kind of pick-ups except for turning down ALL pick-ups more than ‘X’ amount of minutes away?
Happy Mother’s Day Mom!😊Hope You Have A Wonderful Day!😊
Hi bBerman81, I wanted to work too but one of the things I have learned by being old (58, 18 years older than I ever imagined I would be!), is that, I can live with my conscience a lot better by stepping back and trying to do the right thing. Not gonna judge those people out trying to earn, they’ll figure out what’s right and wrong - all on their own! Thanks bBerman, Good Luck To You!🙂
