I called an Uber for a $12 trip from my house to my car dealership to pick up my car from there. I get into the UBER car and silence. Uber driver is wearing a USA flag mask so I’m thinking -oh a Republican that doesn’t like Latinos thats why- .... because my friends since Trumpism started I can see and feel the descrimination towards me in some people, more than ever before in my 21 years in this country.
A few minutes passed and first thing that comes out of his mouth is “are you from here?” I wasn’t surprised lol
To what I replied “what do you mean from here?” You know like how can you tell I’m not? 🤷🏻♀️
We were able to have a good short conversation about the countries he had been to including mine and he ended up talking about Venezuela and from there ramping about how this country is heading that way with dictatorship and socialism. At that moment I decided to just listen and not respond. He continued and mentioned moving to Costa Rica because of the socialism in this country. So as my trip is ending I said to him “good luck in Costa Rica, you have a great country here”. Well because of my comment that let him know I guess that I’m a Democrat and don’t agree with his views he added an extra $80 charge to my trip for “cleaning” because I caused a mess in his car.... so I ended up paying $92! Now I’m worried about my safety as I see all the violent ways extremists have been acting lately and this man knows exactly where I live. Of course I called Uber made a report. I hope they solve this soon, give me my money back but still they cannot guarantee my safety. If anything happens to me or my family you all know who did it, I’m posting a picture of him and his info. Talk about socialism and he practically just stole $80 from me just because I told him his, OUR country is great! So if you get in his car, DO NOT talk about politics! I hope Uber suspends him for the safety of all Democrats that need an UBER.
