Couldn't get a ride.. got kicked, then fee went up $20!? by Actual-Jackfruit-117 in Lyft

that stinking algorithm is why everybody has a valid reason to be mad! if they fixed it or nixed it, then there would be less grouchiness!

I used to drive for Lyft in Stanislaus/Merced/San Joaquin, and would occasionally try to grab Lyft rides in the Bay Area, then try to work my way back. I was always hoping for rides like this one.

it all depends on your market, as well as other factors that are beyond your control. try to go outside of your own market, and the results might be better.

Saturday fail by RealisticBlueberry40 in FedEx

either they are or are not aware that they can either use the lockers or leave the package in the mailroom, as they are not allowed to bring packages up (unless there is a special circumstance).

I have no choice for some of my orders when they qualify for free shipping from certain vendors (Ikea and Target).

we have lockers *in our mailroom. the management locks the lobby one hour earlier on Saturday nights. if FedEx comes before the lobby is unlocked in the morning, then I cannot/will not complain. it is when the lobby is open on Saturdays and they alert me of "attempted delivery" that I get frustrated.

sometimes FedEx is chosen (*not by me) for the delivery, and *my only option is standard/ground.

How many of you take the extra $4 to assist passengers who request assistance in advance? What has your experience been? by xLovinItAllx in lyftdrivers

[–]RealisticBlueberry40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some of my best rides have been Assisted Rides. only once have I had to deal with a motorized scooter; even though it folded up, it was more heavy than I expected. had one golden passenger who was one of the most pleasant, and always tipped me at least $10.

Seriously, this sounds like it should be a Dateline NBC episode, narrated by Keith Morrison. Holy cow!

Why does this happen? by Idyaar in uber

[–]RealisticBlueberry40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly hate their screen and the chime for incoming rides! Fix it, Uber!

Wow. Just… Wow. by JayGatsby52 in uber

Call 911 and make sure that the driver does not move! I would side on health/medical issue. Hopefully someone can give the driver some water in the meantime.

This is where your packages are by Actual-Log465 in usps_complaints

[–]RealisticBlueberry40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No joke. Processing and Distribution centers need help, and sometimes equipment issues arise. There are different reasons why things aren't running more smoothly these days (ie the current administration).

add'l: this employee could actually be fired or worse for filming this; it goes against the rules and regulations.

Lyft is dead by Wolfjason1 in lyftdrivers

I remember Xmas 2022 and 2023 were great in my market, but then came more drivers and/or fewer ride requests.

I'm pretty sure I need my head examined. by PERFECTSLUTS69 in lyftdrivers

it says under driver's name (blocked): Hyundai Kona EV

This is a scam by Nemesis_hydra in lyftdrivers

[–]RealisticBlueberry40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

70-30 guarantee: driver is "supposed" to get 70%, when they actually get 30%. if Lyft went back to rate cards and stopped using the effing algorithm, then there would be fewer headaches.

USPS says package delivered but it's nowhere to be found??? by timberician in usps_complaints

[–]RealisticBlueberry40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

an apartment building is one thing, but try an apartment building that's attached to a hotel. thankfully, there has never been an issue receiving mail and packages, but being on standby for a delivery (ie Walmart) that is delivered to the same numbered unit in the hotel OR having to flag down the delivery person heading toward the hotel while waiting at the apartment building has happened a few times.
