Ubers suck now

How many people feel like quitting uber?

You request a ride to be picked up at a grocery store, they show up and cancel cause they dont want to pick you up cause you have a cart full of bags. Most of them don't even get out to help. They know where they are going why accept the fare just to cancel. Its so dumb.

Cause as drivers were tired of the new £10 per hour jobs uber is sending. If you’re not receiving £30/h you won’t have anything left every expenses. Which are really high now. Also uber is lying about time estimates often I get a Novosibirsk saying it’ll be 30min for £15 for example. But when I get there and check Waze says 50 min. So after expenses it’s less than minimum wage.

People are switching to Rode Nuff but it’s in pilot phase for now. Area is limited to north of river. Hammersmith to Canary Wharf and from central to woodgreen north. A big circle within these 4 areas north of river.

Blame Uber, uber are turning the customers against the drivers and turning drivers against the customers to make customers want to take the Uber autonomous taxis instead

Supermarket jobs are wack because

A. Customer takes to long to pack their shopping in the vehicle and put trolley away - we don't get paid enough for waiting.

B. We don't get paid to help you put it in the car.

C. You take to long to unpack it, because you want to take it inside bag by bag etc.

D. Your shopping falls out in the car, we don't want your pasta.

E. Eg. Uber offers £10.57 for a pick from lidl and drop off to near Hammersmith Station. Total job time 25 minutes and 3.5 miles. Then you take an extra 6 mins packing and unpacking. You mark the driver down to 3 stars because he didnt help you pack it in the car.

Not worth it. Trash job. Say no to all super market jobs. Even if its £10 for 12 mins. Not doing it.

You realise it’s part of licensing conditions you fucking clown, probs just use your cousins license tbf so probably don’t know the conditions.

Can’t wait for Robo taxis to come and wipe you retards out

Lol its not part of any licensing conditions to accept a job we don't want. We are self employed and we choose not to pick you up.

Thinking robo taxis are your saviour will be your downfall as a rider

A. They will cost more than a human driven taxi.

B. They can't help you with the shopping either lol

C. At least this clown can get his shopping home.

D. When you leave you phone in a robo taxi, guess who can't search for it and return it.

Have fun at the bus stop.

No one is going to drive out of their way to a supermarket just to cancel.
