RIDEGURU
I have always had issues with pax changing the destination mid-ride. i feel like that's bait and switch. int he name of customer service i dealt with it but it happened. combine that with another thing I hate which is people picking up food especailly through drive-thru.
$100 order at mickey ds. sat in the lane for like an hour while the cars behind us honked. i made $6.24 because it was just a local trip. no tip either. this need not be allowed.

This reminds me of the time me and my fraternity brothers ordered 200 cheeseburgers because they had a deal for $0.29 a burger.
We didn’t have Uber back then
Did you all get the burgers AsStibel? And if so, did you get them all at once? Or in bags of 10? Either way, that is funny!
I actually remember seeing the 200 burgers and being not that impressed. You can fit like 20~30 burgers in a single brown bag, and a few of those would be in a larger plastic bag with handles. A couple of guys would be able to carry them all.
The location was very cool about it and after a few times, they started expecting it. We would call and they'd tell us to come pick them up at a certain time. (No online orders back then.) I think we used to give them 2 hours or something.
Seeing how this was never an issue for the stores, we feel like we learned important lessons:
- Those McDonald's store freezers store heck of a lot more than 200 patties and buns. They must have 1000s delivered at once.
- The world is a big place. Thinking how many customers visit a single location in a day (plus the drive-thru), we realized they must serve 100s of burgers (maybe even 1000+) a day during those lunches and dinner times. Ordering 200 didn't even faze them.
For those 29 cent burgers, they must be relying on money being made on drinks and other items. I wonder if they lost money on those transactions. did you get a feel?
Then again, it probably costs them 10 cents to make those burgers.
WOW! All I can say is that you have one good story to tell the rest of your life! Reckon you will laugh everytime you go by that McDonald’s! At least, I hope you do - Good Luck Sweet!
Did you at least steal some fries?? 😈
$100? i've had bigger Chipotle and Subway orders than that. multiple times.
