Refusing customers who don’t want to go the long way from Plattsburgh NY to Burlington, VT - how do I tell them nicely?
Very well said Mom, Thank You for educating me (and I am sure, others) so eloquently! I have learned a lot from you and I am quite Thankful! A big thumbs-up 👍!
Thank You Ippei - You Are AWESOME!😊
Thanks! I think your four children are very lucky to have such a nice Mom!😊
Thanks for the kind response Brendon - you made me smile with the big pint of beer at the end of shift line!😊Very True!😊
Thanks for the help Mom!😊’Try not to let it bother you.’ That’s the problem , I (and I am sure you and most of us), try to make everybody’s ride and everybody’s day GREAT but, when people are mean for a stupid reason or no good reason at all, it sticks in my brain and I must work seriously hard to get my nice-customer mojo back working! PS As Brendon says in the next post - maybe that’s why I need a big beer(bourbon) after my shift! Have A Great Day!😊
Hi RebTrice, Thank You for your kind words but what do you do when you have swallowed your pride, apologized and tried your best to do the right thing and the rider still gives you one star? I know the answer, we try to forget it, ‘try’ being the operative word. Thanks again RT!
Thank You LCarpenter! I appreciate your words of wisdom! It does irk me to no end that a completely unverifiable incident can ‘ruin’ one’s good record!
Hi Pattymelt, you are quite interesting, funny and smart! Thank You for responding to my comment. I think I agree with most of your observations/conclusions but I may have to read them a few more times after another bourbon or two! Thanks again, and don’t be a stranger please!
That’s an excellent idea Chawes! And Good Luck Larry! You sound like just the kind of driver Uber should be doing everything in their power to keep and keep happy! I am just a driver, but for my part, I apologize on behalf of Uber.
Good job Momo! And well said! You seem like a great person and your riders are fortunate to have you!😊
This seems to fall into the unbelievable category - how would a driver know what is going on at a destination BUT, if true, the driver should be fired and should be answering criminally and in civil court for damages, in my opinion(bear in mind I am not a lawyer or prosecutor), just my opinion!
I can’t speak for your drivers, but what I have seen is this: sometimes I am close enough to my pick-up that the app notifies you all that I have arrived, when in fact, I am nearby. Yesterday , I sat at a red light, for two cycles while my rider was being charged for wait time. I texted my rider that I was at the light, and got to their pick-up spot forthwith but, it felt like 5 minutes (even though it was probably closer to three minutes!) I am sorry about this but I don’t know what to do about it! Additionally, many times I see that my app has told customers that I will arrive at a location in 7 or 8 minutes and I make it there much faster. Thusly, wait time kicks in while I wait because the client did not anticipate this. I am sorry again but I don’t know how to stop either one. I do not want to cheat anyone but I don’t know what to do. Thank You for your business!😊
Sorry Pathfinder but it seems to me that Big Frank is an assshole and I apologize on behalf of Uber drivers everywhere - PS I could be wrong but I doubt it!😊
I’m sorry, this is one of those times that Uber needs to step up to the plate and compensate you Radar - and if it was me, I would have thrown in a bonus, a big bonus for being the kind of person I want working for me! Well done Radar👍And God Bless You (and shame on You Uber!)
Good for you RedANT! You Go Girl!😊I Love my Wife but I Love You!😊
I agree with Chawes!😊Thank You!😊
PSII Thanks again RedANT! 😊Thank You for taking the time to answer - you really made me feel good!😊
Thank You RedANT!😊 I try my best and I don’t think it is fair when unhappy people try to piss me off!😊Thanks Again!😊
I hear you and I feel you!😊I am in upstate NY and every trip outside of our little, fair city(Plattsburgh, NY) is extremely unfair. Thank You! I don’t know what to say but I appreciated your writing and I am rooting for you!😊
Maybe a Moderator can help me out by changing the ‘He or she dia’ to ‘He or she did’ in the thread title! Thank You!😊
