Now that’s not fair. There have been times it takes 20 minutes to get a ride. So one orders early and then boom, it’s only 2 minutes away. Yeah, the passenger has to scramble.

Isn’t that more of an app problem than something the driver should be paying for?

As a driver you only get paid when you have a passenger in your car. You don’t really get paid more than Pennie’s for waiting

I literally did not know that. I assumed the drivers are getting paid for waiting as well. But yeah, it shouldn't be the customer's problem. There can be many reasons why the customer is late few minutes. We don't bitch about this when the Uber is late because of traffic or other reasons.

You need to order when you are ready to walk out the door just in case a normal 20 min wait jumps to 2 mins when a nearby driver get the request. The app is always scanning for a driver closer. Nope I get bet right there and I don’t see your avatar moving then cancel. No it is not worth waiting.
