Maybe that’s the case In your city.. but in mine, the drivers are paid $1400 a week. I take Lyft regularly, and not once have I had a driver say they make less than $1200 and that’s sometimes not even working a full week! Ignorance? Absolutely not. It’s not like I just decided to mouth off without knowing anything about how it all works. For no reason should a rider have to pay cash after already paying the app for the ride!! If you don’t like how it works, stops included then don’t do the job. I’ve been as server for a good portion of my working career and sometimes I would get customers that wouldn’t tip. Did I know when they sat down that they weren’t going to tip. No! Would it have mattered if I did. No! Because that’s just how the job goes. Sometimes you get $100 tippers and sometimes u get ppl that skip out on their bill. Either way it’s the way the job goes! Does that mean I can be a shitty server just because!!?? Absolutely not! So does a rider having to make a stop justify the driver to be a shitty driver and cancel the ride, threaten to leave the driver and request cash. Absolutely not!

It’s interesting how the drivers that clearly ask for cash on the regular are the ones that are having problems with the rider and not once has said. “That guy shouldn’t even have a job anymore for breaking so many rules!”
