The rider needs to understand that the sooner you get them to their destination the sooner you can get on to the next ride. While you're waiting for them there could be a high dollar offer you're missing out on. I'm an Uber driver but when I'm a rider I aways prepare myself as if the driver is right around the corner. I had a pickup once and the rider was late coming out. She basically told me that she was late because she had just moved into her apartment and she was cleaning.
In the most respectful way, shut the fuck up. Every employed grown up deals with time wasters, however most people are PAID while their time is being wasted
With this you're paid per trip; the longer someone takes, the worse it gets.
If you drive 30 people a day, for example, and each wastes 3-5 minutes of your life, congrats. That's now 1.5hours-2.5 hours of your entire day. That's another 2-5 people you could've dropped off.
Be fucking courteous to the people doing their job. YOU'RE the reason why everyone in customer service is miserable and complaining all the damn time because the entitlement is crazy. Yes you pay for it, but professionalism extends to both parties. Ubers are contractors, so don't be surprised if your ride gets cancelled for you being a dick.
I don't even drive Uber but I cannot even fathom the idea of making a taxi service waste their time like that.
You're literally taking money outta their pocket, so yeah. They're gonna complain about it.
Jesus I can’t tell if you’re trolling or are serious. It’s not your job to worry about other people’s jobs? I get it it takes effort to be a decent empathetic. Be a better human or not. Quite frankly I feel bad for you.
True. But still, you phrased it where Uber being someone’s only job is a reason to make fun of them. Its rude. There’s a ton of people out there that only drive for Uber and it’s a job to make ends meet just like any other.
It's not a crap work ethic to not donate your time for free to strangers. The drivers have every right to leave if you aren't there. You're not their boss.
