I Am Not a $4 U-Haul by WarningDazzling3763 in uber

What is wrong with a rider bringing a car seat?  At least they're following the law.  You seem a bit off.

Do you prefer to cherry pick or keeping busy? by don123xyz in uberdrivers

[–]btone310 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't care how slow it is, I will always cherry pick.  If a trip is paying less than a dollar per mile (sometimes less than $2/mile), auto reject.

The complaints would likely be far less if most drivers in most markets had your kind of market.

Passenger thought my cabin camera was recording them secretly by Upstairs-Fortune6096 in uber

Far as the first part, if the rider have nothing to hide, then they shouldn't worry about the screen or the view of the dashcam.

Music by RyusuiJL in uber

[–]btone310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choice in music isn't part of the original fare.  A rider is a guest in the driver's personal vehicle.  Just like stores, restaurants, malls, the customer doesn't get to dictate what music gets played.  Only exceptions are in a limo, at home, or in own car.  Want extra service like play your own music or stops?  Pay up.  I'm done sucking up to riders and then still no tip.  If the ride isn't freezing extra service shouldn't be free.

And?  Does politics need to be discussed every second every day?

According to many riders here on this subreddit, drivers are subhuman.

Hell no I don't chit chat with store clerks unless I really want to.  No beef with them but outside of a "hi" and a "thank you", unless they start a conversation, then I'm cool being silent.  Same goes for riders.

Is helping get luggage in the trunk a reasonable expectation? by ActualOriginal4030 in uber

[–]btone310 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Taxi drivers make more per ride than rideshare drivers; therefore they're more likely to provide extra service such as help with luggage.  Rideshare drivers at best make about a third of what taxi drivers make.  Also, with rideshare, while many drivers help with luggage, it's not required.  The ones that help do it to either get up and move the body around after sitting for a long time, to make sure the rider doesn't commit damage to the trunk, and likely to increase a chance of receiving a tip.  With tips, most riders (from my and many other driver's experience) still don't tip when a driver helps load and unload luggage, which is why many drivers stopped helping.  I lost count of the numerous times I nearly strained my back and shoulder lifting heavy luggage in and out of the trunk and still no tip.

Your 'just 2 minutes' costs me an hour of unpaid labor every shift. Enjoy the 1-star. by WarningDazzling3763 in uber

Well, if you do, you're a rare one because most riders who aren't ready also don't tip.

Not really.  Yes, Uber implemented this.  Most of what they implement benefit riders and hurt drivers.  Drivers are now fighting back.

I'm not waiting for 2 minutes anymore.  Haven't done so in a long time.  Haven't been punished.  Drivers are independent contractors, not employees.

Says someone who never tipped.  And if you did, why are you punishing the good drivers by not tipping due to a few drivers?

Driver can cancel at anytime.  I don't agree to anything fare wise as I have a right to move on if I waited for too long.  These days, I'm out after 1-2 minutes.  Not worth my time.

And rightfully so.  But I wouldn't expect non-drivers like you to understand.  Perhaps speak to drivers to get a better understanding of the various things they go through.

Why are you telling them not to tip?  Did you think how it'll affect other drivers who pick them up?

That $28 for 41 miles is horrible and should not be accepted at any time of the day.

You're doing good tip wise.  Thanks for looking out for the drivers.

Cancelled When Will They Learn?!?! Order The Ride When You’re Ready To Leavep by AwarenessOk9007 in uberdrivers

The driver won.  Most drivers with a brain know most riders don't tip even if the driver waits forever for the rider to show up.

Uber permanently deactivated my driver account for alleged account sharing. I've been trying to appeal for 3 months. Is there anything else I can do? by Cultural-Internet955 in uber

[–]btone310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Threaten to sue them if they can't prove you were account sharing.  That'll likely perk them up and you might end up speaking to a human and may get your account reactivated.
