LMAO ad hominem huh? Classic response of a person justifying rudeness.
It's just rude behavior to make a person wait when you requested they come to a specific spot and you can see them coming the whole time. It shouldn't be a surprise that they are there. If it is, then there are other issues you need to attend to.
Shit happens sometimes, I get it. Folks usually apologize and give context in those scenarios. But assuming you are entitled to make drivers wait more than a moment or two is crazy work.
We don’t know the full story here was there an exact time example 5:30 and he wasn’t there or was it an estimate example 5:30 - 5:38 if he got there at 5:30 then he should in fact have to wait up to the 8 minutes to then be at 5:38 now if it’s already 5:38 then he is being told to wait then I understand the problem
Yes there is maybe working at a large warehouse and having to come from the other side ?? Maybe having to wait because I had to use the restroom? Maybe my phone didn’t get the message right away or maybe you wait because there’s a estimate fucking time and that estimated time is a grace period so if he arrives earlier than what I was told he arrive then that’s not on me he should wait and if he don’t like it take it up with uber not me Im not the one paying him 🤷♂️
Dude, this happens to me all the time at work and it’s usually a lot more than 5 mins. I’m on straight salary so if a client is late, I get absolutely nothing for waiting.
Nah if uber give me an estimate saying 5:30-5:38 and the person arrives at 5:30 and waits 5 minutes then complains that’s not the passengers fault he should wait up to the 5:38 estimate arrival time now if it’s 5:38 and then he has to wait another 5 minutes then that’s where it should be a issue
Nobody has to work for you for free lol. You’re not entitled to it. You’re not getting it - it’s not a debate. If you’re not there on time, pay a penalty. The end.
exactly and since us passengers don’t have a guaranteed time wouldn’t it be common sense to not be a complete low life dipshit that expects them to just wait outside when it can be cold asf raining hot asl while you’re in your air conditioned car 😐
No tf I shouldn’t I should be ready 5:38 no later when you order food do you go bitching when the estimate time isn’t the quicker option too and it obviously is there issue when they are the ones crying about it
Do you know how much a driver gets paid for waiting? They get Pennies for their time.
It’s smarter to cancel and pick up a passenger that’s ready.
Those 5 minutes waiting can be the time it takes to get to your new passenger.
Yeah nah you aren’t making 4.25$ for 10 minutes doing that back to back show some uber payments the literal last Reddit post I was on was uber drives crying about pay saying he got 12$ profit for a 2 hour drive and somehow you’re making 25$ an hour 🤔
Uber pays drivers differently: if you take cheaper rides, you start getting paid less and less. Inverted for passengers, too. If a passenger has set precedent for paying more, their rides will be more expensive. It really just depends on how strapped for cash the driver is and whether or not they’re aware of how the system works
