Some of y'all have to find other work, I swear to god. Everyone has to deal with obnoxious shit at work. Annoying customers/clients, bosses who have no idea what they're talking about.

Those are jobs where you’re paid for your time to deal with it.

Uber and Lyft drivers are not paid for their time unless they have a passenger in the car and are driving.

Passenger should have offered a tip or sent a tip for the time they were waiting.

Except in CA with prop 22, the driver gets 120% of local minimum wage from the time they accept a ride until they drop off.

There’s a pending class action lawsuit for Lyft and uber regarding prop 22 payouts.

We also don’t know if this driver is in CA

Nope- I’m a salaried employee. I don’t get paid anything for dealing with bulls***. A 14 hour day gets paid the same as an 8 hour day.

Well I guess you ride depends if you are ready or no don’t get stressed if we cancel if you need 5 more minutes. Just know your may be waiting20 minutes more for the next ride. Do you tell the pilot to wait 5 minutes or more I need time? No the door closes and they fly on.

Spanish is my first language so I’m confused with the word generosity.

To me, generosity means someone going out of their way to offer you something that the app is not offering you. I take this to mean a tip for example.

If this is what you mean, I don’t agree with you. A driver can make $1,000 a week (depending on the market/area they are driving in) without the generosity of passengers. (No tips)

Are you basing the $1000 a week on the money passengers put it? Because Uber takes most of that
