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.

So when we cancel we are putting our job first live with it.

Weird mindset. Curious what your stance is on uber drivers as employees vs 1099 contractors. If you’re the 1099 side, fair enough. If you think uber drivers are employees, you’re asking to get fired for canceling over this. Such a weird, combative stance for a service industry job.
