Would starting the trip down the street make that much of a difference to the fare? Since Uber and Lyft give the price upfront, it's probably not likely that the driver did it on purpose unless it adjusted the price at the end of your trip.
So, let me get this straight. Someone ordering through this service is unable to make the trip because they do not own a vehicle / cannot drive, right?
If that's the case, why not just request a ride to Walmart and pick out your groceries yourself. Or better yet, go to a real grocery store (that is not Walmart) and get better fresh food.
Not going to lie - this happened to me the other day! I almost left the taxi without paying and the guy was like "hello?". It's just a bad habit with using Uber all the time!
If you are going to pay that much for an Uber or Lyft driver to take your 4 hours (probably hundreds of dollars I'm guessing...) why wouldn't you look into taking other cheaper options like a bus or train or something? I feel like that could be cheaper, no?
What a crazy story. I don't even understand how he was able to do all that. I guess the lesson here is to never trust anyone who says to be Uber calling over the phone - it's probably not likely they would give out cash rewards over the phone.
Happy to hear nothing terrible came out of it for you, glad it all was settled in the end.
I've actually never had the problem of my scheduled ride not showing up. Maybe it's because I live in New York City, and there are always a ton of drivers out, even at 5am. I guess ask others in the area before making your travel plans to see if it's reliable!

Who even reports this? A person sitting at the airport inspecting every Uber car that comes to pick up ?
Do Uber Eats drivers accept cash tips?

I'm not sure this is the case, but maybe it's because they don't know what the surge will be like at the time so they price higher just to be "safe"
It's nice to know there are companies out there that will give rides to my kids that are safe and I can trust.
Yeah apparently both the driver and passenger had guns in that shooting though. you never really know the full story through the news

It depends on where you are driving. And how much you care about drunk people in your car
I'm guessing Uber drivers do enough driving that they don't want to do any more time in a car
