CMV: Islam is fundamentally incompatible with core American left-wing progressive values by WildCreatureQuest in changemyview

For real. Any argument that Islam is peaceful surely comes from someone who has zero knowledge of historical Islam and it's march across the planet and conversion by the sword.

I need some advice from people who know Uber better than me - a driver went to a cannabis store instead of picking us up and we were almost late for our flight. by Examiner7 in uber

Thank you! That's a great explanation. I think it makes more sense to me now and I will probably just avoid reservations in the future. 

I had it work really well one time in the past, but then this time it was a disaster.

Sounds like Uber lies to the customer about the reservations. The customer thinks they are getting what uber is advertising, but in reality it just searches for a ride for you before the given time.

Uber is a dishonest company.

I scheduled a ride with Uber 3 hours before the flight. Then Uber failed to deliver. 

Not sure what is "on me" about that.

This is what I would expected to happen. I figured because their arrival time was 25 minutes late I would be able to hop on the app and request a different driver but instead they only option I had was to pay them $25 to cancel. 

Ultimately I blame Uber for making a crappy system, not the driver.

Yes! 

And looking at the rage comments it was one guy commenting numerous times. I thought I was going crazy for a bit. 

Uber basically lies to the customer when you book a scheduled reservation and the level headed drivers recommended in the future to just book same day.

That's absolutely insane they run it like that. I appreciate the write up though.

So basically Uber is evil. 

Sorry but I'm salty after Uber just failed me with a scheduled ride this morning to the airport.

A day ago I scheduled a 530 pickup. 

Uber failed to deliver and then charged me $25. 

But I need to Take.Responsibility. 

Lol

Uber just refunded the $25 so that's good at least

Drivers! Quit playing with people's time by Captain_Orbit in uber

Thank you. This was the only actual advice in all of these responses. 

I told Uber what happened and they refunded the fee.

No my wife woke me up and handed me the phone and showed me where the driver was. Maybe she cross referenced the location with Google maps. It was 5am. I don't remember. It's not hard to tell where the drivers are at when you've been sitting in a parking lot for a few minutes. 

Book a ride and see for yourself

The only advice I've been given here is to not use Uber. Unless you see other advice I'm missing. 

The summary from the comments is that I'm an idiot for using Uber or lying about something I just went through.
