Refusing customers who don’t want to go the long way from Plattsburgh NY to Burlington, VT - how do I tell them nicely?
I agree with you Mathew! Thank You!😊
Thank You AsStibelDude! I agree with you and will not work on behalf of workers everywhere! Thanks again (BostonSTRONG!😊)!
Thank You CWalcutt75! I appreciate the help - I am not working today (Wed. 5/8) in support of my brothers and sisters trying to do the right thing! Thanks Again!
I wonder if UberEats customers give low ratings to drivers who, through no fault of their own, deliver an order with something wrong? I.e., the food is cold or miscooked.
Bob is still alive and kicking Adam Sandler’s Asss,🙂
Home for me is almost always less than 10 minutes away, usually less!
Thanks Sally, appreciate your help. I have decided to read my book for up to 20 minutes in the same spot and then head home . I will do like RedANT and Momof4 say and work from home, ready to go in a moment’s notice when pinged. Thanks again!
What happens if No UberEats drivers are working or available?
Thank God for the New York Times and The Washington Post ! I think that without these bastions of truth we would have made it all the way to ‘1984’. They are not perfect but as close to honest as there is anywhere!
I’m Sorry you were treated so poorly by us Felicity. There’s no excuse for such poor behaviour! Once again, I apologize and hope it never happens again to you or anyone else.
Thanks for the local product knowledge Wes - I am studying to take on James on Jeopardy($1.4 Million Won after 19 straight wins!) 🙂PS Which city, Loves Lebron more? Okay, I’m guessing this is a no-brainer!
This customer was not willing to listen to anything, in fact, I am sure his girlfriend was very helpful avoiding what could have happened . Thanks for all of your kind , helpful advice Wes!🙂
Not on Facebook - am lucky to figure out how to answer my phone!😊PS You May call me Lou - I never liked Louis!😬
I drove some limos and limo services in the 80’s and was a driving instructor the last 4 years. I like driving for Uber because of all of the same reasons everyone does, I guess. I enjoy meeting people but there’s so much downtime, I have finished all of Karin’s books(made me depressed to finish her last one), and now I am reading a lady named Lisa Jackson. PS Today I laid on my couch for two hours after I drove my wife to work, waiting for a ping to go to work. 5+ hours ‘ working’ /reading for $25 dollars! Barely covers lunch!😊
Thanks for all of the mentorship RedANT - our little town of Plattsburgh is way too small with way too many of us Uber drivers and a big fleet of local cabbies. Thatbeingsaid, I will have to look for another line of work around here but Uber is(was) perfect since my relatively old age (58) and health issues preclude standing at work. Maybe it’ll be better when summer comes and it warms up - I don’t know. Thanks again!😊PS Now 9:59 AM and no pings yet - still 6 other Ubers in a 5-mile radius by me☹️
Update : I am trying the RedANT philosophy at work today - I dropped my wife at work downtown and subsequently went on line Uber at 7:57AM. Sat on a downtown street about half an hour reading my book and decided to head home and heat up some pizza from last night. That’s what I did , enjoyed the pizza (Thanks RedANT!) and am now doing laundry. Still no pings to go to work and it is 9:21 AM. Doesn’t look like I am gonna make much money today but at least I can watch tv and do chores while waiting! Have A Nice Day!🙂
I didn’t ever think to do that - wait at home, that’s alright to do? Riders don’t mind if it takes you 10 or 12 minutes to get there to pick them up?
I guess driving up here in the boonies isn’t very rewarding - I made about $48 bucks in 5 hours today! About half that time I was reading my book (Karin Slaughter - she’s Amazing)!
You’re very kind Mom for everything you do and write! Your driving mate seems to be a Godsend! I have only been driving a short while and I have been learning most of what I know through my passengers! I am in a small town where most of our earns are $3.66 trips. It seems to be a rough way to make money. If it weren’t for the enjoyment I get out of talking to my customers I wouldn’t have made it this far! There is no support and what official Uber support I tried to get did not work out! They lied and/or did not care about our little piece of nowhere in the world! (PS. Our hub is in Buffalo - about 5 hours away, I think!) I have been leery to approach other Uber drivers thinking that they may not like me crowding their territory - but you have been Winderful for all of your help and I Thank You Very Much!😊
Another question, for you and others Chelly - How are we supposed to ‘wow’ or impress our riders when they’re 100% engrossed in their electronic devices?
