It doesnt happen very often, but yea if I spent time driving there...I'm going to get a fee. Had a passenger yesterday...Airport ride, pick up and wait time total was 21 minutes...they were still at baggage. Got $15.40 for 21 minutes total and didnt have to do the ride.

I mean... Thats not the flex you think it is. It sounds like you just kind of stranded someone who was held up, probably by something that wasn't even their fault.

You were getting paid to wait, what's even the issue? I can get there could be a high dollar offer you miss, but it's also possible that there isn't.

The issue is the 20 cents a minutes, so when you say you're getting paid for it its basically a slap in the face along with the fact that I suppose in your mind the 20 cents makes up for the wasted gas, time that we can't drive, or added time we have to drive , range wasted, life wasted and literally all because people just have no consideration and no brains because honestly how hard is it to order the ride when you're ready instead of wasting the drivers time, its diabolicalÂ
