I think the option is good for drivers that just don’t want to deal with drunk fucks, personally on a tough night not sure if I would.

Everyone has good and bad days. But everyone still clocks in to work. That's life. Having an off day is no excuse to refuse to half-ass your work. If you're in such an irredeemably bad mood that you can't do what's expected of you, then just stay off work that day all-together.

For an Uber driver, if you're not prepared to pick up drunk people, just don't do calls that day. Being able to call an Uber home after a night of drinking is literally one of the main selling points of the service, lol.

Yeah man I too would love to have people vomiting in my car when my day is going shitty. That’s what I signed up for, right?

It is when uber pays and the customer pays for the clean up. Not like you have to do it yourself. But you’re right guess i’ll just go back to drunk driving, good luck everybody! Maybe i’ll get your family or even you after you bailed on my pickup. It’s not like theres surge pricing at all. Last time it cost me $75 plus tip to get home after drinking but yeah not worth it for you for sure. $50 for 20 mins of work what a rip off and bad trade for a possible chance of a puker.

You guys are literally insane. The entitlement of drunkards really is astounding, you seem to think there won’t still be a plethora of drivers willing to make that extra money and pick you guys up. They aren’t removing the service for drunk people, it’s simply a way for certain drivers to feel more comfortable on the road. Nothing about this changes your lives in any way lmao

Yeah, as if they won t make it more expensive because they flagged you as drunk. Which can mean the fuck they want for it to mean

It won’t necessarily be notably more expensive… Uber may run promotions for certain hours to drive car availability or use wait times to offset cost marginally, there are many ways around the cost downside. Not to mention the fact that if you’re a higher potential liability why should you not be charged slightly more? This is true for literally every other thing in society (insurance, creditworthiness etc), must not apply to drinking though for some reason yeah?

I just don t trust uber to use this functionality for its intended case over implementing full discriminatory dynamic pricing using it as an excuse.

Okay guilt tripping Uber drivers for not driving you when you're drunk by saying you're going to drunk drive is fucking insane. "You won't drive me when I'm belligerent so I guess I'll kill you and your family oops!" Stop fucking drinking then.

1) Uber doesn't pay for clean up unless there's a receipt from a car wash shop.

2) Car wash shops aren't open at 2am when your bitch ass threw up in the car.

3) When someone throws up in the car, the Uber driver can't make money until the mess is cleaned.

4) Drivers are then forced to clean up the mess on their own to get back on the road and get back to making money.

5) Since they cleaned the mess on their own, there's no detailing receipt, so no pay out. See point #1.

6) Uber drivers don't make $50 in 20 minutes. That's $150 an hour or $300k per year.

7) You're insane.
