I am wondering if my Uber driver knows I requested an UberPool (the cheaper option?) instead of an Uberx. Sometimes I thnk they are less nice to me because they know I'm paying less. But don't they get paid the same, but by different people?
Does my uber driver know that I requested a pool ride? Are they mad about it?

I get mad when I see business men taking Uber Pool for $4 rides, like come on, you can't spring for the $7.50 journey?! And of course, then no one tips...
maybe they are just less nice because they are tired! dont take it too personally
one time i was in an uber pool and uber wasn't working so there were accidentally too many people in the car, i got shoved into the trunk hahahaha
it can be a hassle for drivers because they have to pay for all that gas to pick up passengers, and they are rarely ever on time
drivers still get paid the same rate as uberx, but they have to stop and pick up passengers along the way which may take longer.
ohhh i didn't know that! i just thought drivers got paid less because the passengers paid less. ive heard of drivers being upset about it in the past though, i wonder if this is a new thing they changed
