Refusing customers who don’t want to go the long way from Plattsburgh NY to Burlington, VT - how do I tell them nicely?
You’re right Baba! Most of us did not know any better when we started driving and after awhile we pretty much figured out what Dave Whittle so eloquently explained - Uber for me is just not worth it because I drive in a small town where Uber pays us to take people away from our small city and then we deadhead back taking away any profits we might have made!
Surges? What surges? I’ve been out the last two weeks and I’m lucky to make $10-$12 an hour (not even counting expenses!). No quests for two weeks either. Saw some quests this week but they’re pitiful! Uber just doesn’t care about us - at all! So, my answer to you would be ‘This is not a good time to start driving for Uber!’
I haven’t seen any bonuses and to be extra merry this year - no quests at all this week/weekend! Merry Christmas from Uber!
You are 100% correct Hank - Uber punishes us drivers for everything! Uber does not care about us AT ALL!
Well said!
Yes. Uber will confirm and show up and if you don’t come out and get in the Uber when he or she shows up - you will be charged for a cancellation . So, whosoever books your ride - show up when they are supposed to show up and Good Luck!
Took me almost three years to get 5.0 . Hung between 4.95 and 4.99 for the longest time
Congratulations Hank ! You are an excellent driver and I am sure, a better person - Continued Success ! Slainte! PS It took me over a year to get rid of the one star ratings I got from Trump fans that didn’t like it when I told them that Trump is an embarrassment to humanity. I have maintained my 5.0 rating for over 6 months now! Once again, Congratulations Hank!
If I was the new CEO of Uber I would immediately apologize for my previous CEO’s and forthwith shoot myself!
EVERYBODY should be forced to get the vaccine - PERIOD!
Sorry siya, that really sucks! Same kind of thing happened to me with Lyft! A year later they asked me if I wanted to drive for them again! I politely declined, the guy from Lyft was actually quite nice and empathetic. I must have talked to 30 reps while they were splaining their company’s idiotic nonsense but none actually did anything. I think both companies suck ! ( And I have plenty of examples from each!) Have A Lovely Day!
Why would reporting a mass murderer be any different to Uber and Lyft than anything else? Uber and Lyft just do not care. If you have any kind of situation, you ( we) need to call the Police! Remember: Uber and Lyft could care less about anybody - drivers and/ or customers. I know, sad.
Good and Bad people in all jobs - still , that sucks!
Since Covid , we’re not supposed to let them sit up front but when there’s too many to fit in the back seat I move all of my books and stuff and let them sit there but then I have to remember to move the seat back up when they leave. As long as they’re not jerks, it’s not a problem for me.
Did you all get the burgers AsStibel? And if so, did you get them all at once? Or in bags of 10? Either way, that is funny!
I agree with BigFrank - Uber and Lyft SUCK! Neither can be trusted! Good Luck Frank! PS I was a driving instructor for four years - loved it!
You did the right thing Foxy! I’ve been in that situation. I usually will say something innocuous like, whatever it is, I hope it gets better and Good Luck! And then I pretty much, shut up, which is hard to do, at least for me. Crying , crazy talk and suicidal people are very difficult to deal with, the least said, the better, in my opinion.
WOW! All I can say is that you have one good story to tell the rest of your life! Reckon you will laugh everytime you go by that McDonald’s! At least, I hope you do - Good Luck Sweet!
I feel your pain Robin! If people are nice and they ask for help I will give it to them. That being said, if people do not ask or they are not nice, I will open the rear of my vehicle and watch them as they load their groceries and/or stuff. Same for when we get to their destination, I open up the rear of the vehicle and wait. These types of people tend to be regular abusers of our good human nature - so, the next time I pull up and see them or notice their ping address, I would cancel. Especially if they did not tip me the last time. Good Luck Robin ! I hope you feel better!
You’re so nice Mom - THANK YOU! PS I did get AAA Premium after that but it may not of helped that day since the area I was in probably did not have service - I don’t remember! Hope You are Well!
