   6 years ago in  So which is it, drivers? Do you like vomiting passengers or what?

  Definitely don't mind collecting the pay day especially when it is a nice clean upchuck (contained to my rubber floor mats). Once it got in my vents, nothing, no amount of money is worth that!!

   6 years ago in  Uber Eats, etc. and Insurance

  I never realized this, I don't drive for Uber Eats though, just uberx. I don't understand why they would not cover food delivery drivers. "driving faster" is a BS answer. Maybe because you have to illegally park or park in dangerous situations sometimes to drop the food off? What about dominoes pizza delvierers? Are they insured through dominoes?

  Yes, this! If you are giving rides for money outside of Uber you are not covered! Why risk that when you probably won't make anymore money than if you were doing it through Uber anyways.

  Not usually if you are not a jerk. I hate when people make me wait outside their building for 5 minutes and then tell me they are late. It's your fault not mine. I will not risk getting a ticket for that.

   6 years ago in  What is the proper etiquette with tipping an Uber and Lyft driver?

  Tip as you would a taxi driver!! They are providing the same service. 10-20% is reasonable or a few dollars for a short ride. I know tipping culture can be frustrating but that is the culture we live in so dont be a dick.

   6 years ago in  As a driver, have you ever arrived for pickup and then decided to refuse/cancel the ride?

  Only once, this guy wasn't at the pickup so I waited. Then I got a call, "where are you?" in the rudest tone, I said I was at the pickup location. He swears then hangs up. I am tempted to just leave right now but I waited another minute and saw a guy walk out fron the apartment building all dressed in black and I just decided that this guy was trouble so I peaced out and collected my no show fee :) Felt so good.
