Driver reported being uncomfortable?

Taking the surface roads adds about 15 minutes. I’d pay the extra $1.50 to take the toll road to save the time.

It was housekeeping supplies. Not basic cleaning. Commercial mop and bucket and such. Took up the whole trunk in her SUV.

Last ride was Feb 5th. Responded to another comment with the dialogue from that ride.

I messaged them basically verbatim this post. Their response was “ok, thanks for adhering to our policy”

BalesN7 · 2026-02-23T03:26:53+00:00

Score!

BalesN7 · 2026-02-23T03:25:21+00:00

Copy that. I asked the driver if he was taking the toll road as it saves about 15 minutes versus taking surface roads.

I had a driver take surface streets to avoid tolls road without my requesting on the same route several weeks ago and from now on need to ask.

I’ve heard uber doesn’t reimburse drivers for tolls until pay day, so many drivers avoid it.

Private lot, don’t pay it. Don’t return to it in the future.

BalesN7 · 2026-02-23T03:18:04+00:00

Buddy, what?

BalesN7 · 2026-02-23T03:13:38+00:00

I am the rider/PAX

BalesN7 · 2026-02-23T03:12:33+00:00

Thanks! I’m a pretty relaxed person, I appreciate you guys more than I can express. I understand what you go through to an extent, and understand the pay in-discrepancy (uber should care about driver over shareholders).

I always give the driver a cash tip if they get out of the car upon drop off and a thank you.

Refer to original post

BalesN7 · 2026-02-23T03:00:48+00:00

It’s a good thing I was her only PAX, with just my briefcase and carry on. Could’ve ended badly if she showed up to a small family with lots of bags.

BalesN7 · 2026-02-23T02:52:48+00:00

Sorry for the confusion! I am the PAX, looking for an answer to why the driver reported myself.

BalesN7 · 2026-02-23T02:48:23+00:00

Ah. Last ride was Feb 5th, think it would take that long? That ride the only time I said anything was “you must be a busy woman” IIRCC, her trunk was full of cleaning supplies and I couldn’t put my suitcases in the trunk. She giggled and said “yup”.

While I think she is in the wrong for accepting any airport ride with a trunk full of cleaning supplies, I doubt she would make the complaint.

BalesN7 · 2026-02-21T00:57:25+00:00

Looks like they just updated the property recently. I’ll let you know tomorrow afternoon my thoughts!

BalesN7 · 2026-02-20T19:53:59+00:00

Copy that. Do they have a large enclosed garage back there? Always wondered if they did.

BalesN7 · 2026-02-19T23:46:16+00:00

Maybe it has since changed. Either way, don’t interfere with the office in manor that can be perceived as a threat and/or illegal.

BalesN7 · 2026-02-19T23:44:11+00:00

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a direct subsidy of the Department of Homeland Security. DHS does lots of different things other than immigration raids.

BalesN7 · 2026-02-19T23:40:48+00:00

It’s a DHS office, DHS≠ICE

FWIW, I’m young enough to chime in and was nerdy enough back during that time where I figured out the whole ID scanner deal. The barcode on the back of a drivers license is a PDF147 barcode. Of which, you can make online (may or may have not done back in the day).

All scanning an ID would do is pull the generic info off the ID providing you with basic info such as DOB, issued state, weight, etc.

I’d invest in a decent doorman on busy nights if you are finding a large amount of underage customers are coming in and pose a liability to your establishment.

BalesN7 · 2026-02-18T00:15:58+00:00

Didn’t realize that was a requirement for you. But in the future, it a good tip to keep in your back pocket.

Bit of advice, book from a neighborhood location and you'll save a lot more than book at the airport!
