Had 2 very rowdy guys this past weekend and I wanted to kick them out but didnt know how or …
Where are you located? I think some areas may be safer in regards to Covid than others. I think if you need the money and are diligent about wearing your mask and disinfecting you should be just fine!
I have never done this, is it like a webcam thing?
I would recommend simply ordering an UberX when you land.
This is pretty awesome, I hope the rest of the country takes notice and forces Uber to expand this.
I'm curious as to why you think he is cheating. In my opinion, if someone is a cheater they will always find a situation in which they can cheat. By making him quit rideshare driving will do nothing for your relationship. Most jobs involve working with others and working with others of the opposite sex, perhaps you need to look deeper into your relationship to overcome these feelings.
At first I completely agreed with you but then on further thought I don't think they actually have a booking fee in all their cities.
You might be able to get an Uber across some borders like US/Canada but there is no guarantee a driver will take you that far.
I wish they would do this here in the US so I could avoid drunk males
I thought the same thing. I always move my car out of the way...
Twice I witnessed it while not getting paid when the tipping option first came out. Last week I showed a first time user how to tip through the app. She hit the $3 button and closed out the app without noticing the " Submit" button below she was supposed to tap as well. I wonder how many other pax thought they tipped but unintentionally didn't tap the Submit button in the process as well.
One time I gave a ride to a chef who told me to never eat a restaurants weekend buffet brunch as it is just all the leftovers from the week... I can't seem to enjoy buffets anymore 😔
Well this number is really all over the place, I mean there are people who take taxis everyday to and from work, getting around to meetings, etc. I had a friend who spent well over $1,000 a month on taxi cabs.
However, he was affluent. Most normal, middle class, NYC residents will mainly use public transportation and will only get a cab on rare occassions or when the weather is terrible.
It should be the law that drivers have dash cams - it would prevent so many fake claims by riders! If your not doing anything wrong why would you care?
This reminds me it is tissue season again. Always carry a box this time of year :)
Driving a 17 year old that looks 18 and a 2 year old that clearly still needs a car seat are two different things...
care to elaborate?
This is just saying that drivers now have to make $17.22 an hour, not that it is the cities minimum wage.
My friends couldnt understand why I would drive for Uber, I got a lot of crap for driving for a bit. Now they all seem used to it but I guess the nature of the job does make some people look down on you. their loss, I am the one with the extra cash
Everyone ALWAYS thinks drivers are taking a "longer route".
wow, they charge you? Interesting, I don't like being beholden to someone, hence why I drive for Uber - I work when I want.
