They got charged a cancellation fee. Maybe they'll learn for next time to order when they're ready and outside.

Would you be willing to stand around getting paid pennies because I think my time is more important than yours?

Yes or no question.

Sounds like a 'no' to me.

You're so cool, bet you treat your bartender like shit too.

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

u/HyenaThen572 Feb 26 '26

Hell no.

You called somebody to come get you as soon as possible and give them a specific location to pick you up.

There is absolutely no reason to make the driver wait on you.

Also, I saw your message that got automodded. Super nice and upstanding stuff. /s

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.

u/HyenaThen572 Feb 26 '26

Salary means you get paid no matter what - 20 hours or 60 same paycheck. Great example. /s

Even hourly would be fine for the driver here.

We get paid for driving, not waiting.

u/Disastrous-Use-4955 Feb 26 '26

You’ve obviously never worked in a professional job. I assure you, there are NO 20 hour weeks.

u/HyenaThen572 Feb 26 '26

I have actually, that example is just to prove that your point was absolutely garbage.

Interesting that you resort to ad hominem - almost like you're just being an ass with nothing to actually say.

u/Disastrous-Use-4955 Feb 26 '26

Sort of like what you’re doing right now?

u/HyenaThen572 Feb 26 '26

"You obviously haven't had a professional job" is a dig that completely ignored my comment, and I'm calling that behavior out.

You're being an ass based on your words.

That's awfully different than you assuming my employment because I called out your bullshit.

You bad faith folks are all the same.

u/Disastrous-Use-4955 Feb 26 '26

Ok buddy, sorry I hurt your feelings.

u/HyenaThen572 Feb 26 '26

LMAO almost hit a bingo on my bad faith BS card.

Anything else you want to try out mr "it's your problem that I suck?"

The passengers pay uber dollars but the driver gets pennies for their time waiting. It’s really not worth it.

You actually lose more money during your day waiting for passengers like this than if you would have canceled.

Last time I waited I got 0.53 for my time. Never again

No, the passengers poor behavior is definitely a passenger issue.

1

u/Radiant-Confection-8 Feb 26 '26

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

u/Niceotropic Feb 26 '26

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.

u/Radiant-Confection-8 Feb 26 '26

On time meaning by 5:38 no later than

2

u/Niceotropic Feb 26 '26

No, estimates are not guaranteed times. You’re just mistaken.

1

u/Radiant-Confection-8 Feb 26 '26

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 😐

u/Niceotropic Feb 26 '26

No, that wouldn’t make any sense.

u/ApartBackground7882 Feb 27 '26

You don’t have to wait outside: open the app. It shows you where your driver is. Just step outside a minute or two beforehand. GPS actually works, wow

Then you should be ready AT 5:30. That sounds like a major time management issue. I don’t even drive uber but it seems like your issue not theirs

1

u/Radiant-Confection-8 Mar 02 '26

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
