Instead of Caraoke what about a mini slot machine lol - is that illegal?
This is so frustrating. Thanks for the info.
What?! I haven't heard this news, is it just in Chicago? This is so ridiculous!! Complete BS (no coincidence, these are Bernie's initials, lol)
Do you have a notice of this you can share?
No way they will do this. It is a publicity stunt. Since when does Uber or Lyft give away anything for free to their drivers...
Wouldn't that be nice if someone actually created a system where drivers get a bulk of the money.
I haven't heard of shipt but it sounds interesting. Are you affiliated with one store? Like do you have to do all the shopping at Target or does the customer tell you which grocery store to shop at.
I wonder if you could do two trips at once :)
If someone did that in my car, I would just stare at them until they cracked.
The ones that just sit on their phone completely ignoring you and laughing at random things.
I don't see the humor in this. Taking the whole drivers love 5 stars thing a little far imo.
Holy s**t, I would have gone mad on the guy if this was me. No one touches my wheel.
huh, I have never heard of Uber favoring a certain type of phone. How do your ratings/acceptance rates compare?
Do you have the same cell service provider?
Do you both drive for UberX?
and yet riders think they know everything about being a rideshare driver. "turn left here" "drive through that yellow"
Yep, this is why you invest in a dash cam.
I just don't really see what they could help me with, I have been driving for a while now. Though the tax info sounds intriguing. I saw that other people mentioned that some of their taxi filing tricks saved them hundreds. I always wonder what I am missing out on when I file my taxes.
I wish someone would leave 100k worth of marijuana in my car, all I ever get are empty soda bottles. LOL
Great list. I'll add "Can I eat this in your car?"
No way. Can you imagine driving your kids to school in that car? I would love stats on if this actually increases tips. I feel like riders can see right through it and many would just be annoyed.
Kendall Jenner.
Do people really tip you guys? 😡
right, after taxes and car expenses this will probably be even less than $12. How are they going to guarantee this minimum? Do you know?
