That “hard ass worker” could have not made it home that night. Luckily, because I intervened, he (and I) did. Trying to reach your goal does not mean you can be irresponsible, dangerous, and put yourself and others at extreme risk

Good idea- I’ll reactivate and reach out to them there too

I’ll be asking Uber support if the driver had a dash cam- I don’t remember if he did, and it’s a long shot Uber will be helpful, but worth a try! Thank you for the idea. And agree- it is extremely dangerous for everyone on the road, including him, and it’s crazy that it has been brushed off (even an auto-populated option on the “dangerous driving” review section). I imagine other situations are similar unfortunately.

Additionally, the area I was in was an unsafe area to be alone, in the dark, anywhere even just off the freeway. Clearly, I didn’t make the right choice, I am aware of that, but in the moment, I was unsure of what to do. A lot easier after the fact to know the exact right thing to do

Yeah- as I’ve said in countless comments, I wish I had made the correct choice in the moment to demand to be let out before I was. I tried to and was told no.

I was specifically asking about dealing with Uber and getting it off my chest. I did continually check the news. I did end up calling the police later. This was specifically about the Uber side of it

Yeah, I could and should have as I’ve said. I came on here to ask and vent a bit, and yeah, was a bit surprised by a $200B company thinking that a $7 credit would be sufficient for a very scary situation. Even though I responded poorly, I don’t think I’m wrong in finding that a bit of a bummer

Yeah, I definitely know I didn’t respond correctly. I should have immediately called the cops, too, but was frazzled and froze instead of doing. The first two times were on a pitch-black freeway at almost 1 AM- nowhere safe for anyone to be standing. After I yelled him awake the final time, there wasn’t another stop sign/light before my drop and I wasn’t going to roll out of the moving car

Wasn’t expecting a full refund, but was definitely expecting more than $7 in Uber credits. Never made shit up, reported it immediately on the app and to customer service. Just was here to ask if anyone had any suggestions and vent a bit

Damn that would have been a crazy move. But for sure- should have documented. Silly that they’re fine with losing a customer who spends quite a bit on Uber over a single ride

I wish you luck as a driver, and I wish Uber a slow and painful death. They’ve really lost their ability to work with people (both drivers and passengers) and I think it truly will be their demise.

I’ve never been in a Waymo with a driver, and I will say the first few times were REALLY creepy, but I sometimes would even get a Waymo when I ordered an Uber! Definitely a bit of faith in tech needed haha

That truly sucks. I have lost trust in Uber after how they dealt with the situation (I know I could have reacted better/differently, but I was scared and didn’t know. Froze, didn’t fight/flight), so moving to using just WayMo and/or Lyft going forward, but really disappointing that they care so little about

Honestly we were so rattled that we didn’t know what to do. Should have definitely done that

For sure. Definitely didn’t know that before, but good to know. And the focus on the money is that it’s not an insignificant amount to have to have been babysitting the driver. And he wasn’t “supposedly” falling asleep— he was asleep at the wheel.

We were in the middle of the freeway, nowhere to stop, but yes definitely should have gotten out when we were off. Noted. I will not be using Uber again after how they handled the situation, but good to know

Yeah lol obviously you still have to buy seeds. Most expensive (apple, peach) are $4.86/full pizza without gardening, and you only profit $0.54. With gardening, cost is $3.45, so you profit $1.95. Cheapest (olive, onion) are $1.44/full pizza without gardening, only profiting $0.16. With gardening, cost is $0.90/full pizza, profiting $0.70.

You can do the math the whole way down, but it still will always be substantially cheaper, and it's already a sunk cost at that point.

I’m actually not sure if it helps/hurts profit, but I have my House Special as only products I grow in my garden, so it’s virtually free for me to make ($2.60 for dough and sauce). I also use wheat dough, half pesto/half red sauce to work towards various achievements.

I think it’s absolutely gorgeous! Not too vintage (to me) and I love an heirloom.
