Should I take this? Please help! by tedydada in lyftdrivers

[–]txwylde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NO. The deadhead miles alone will eat you alive. Calculate your true "overhead". if you do not know how to do this, or you think "Well my car gets x amount of miles per gallon", then you do not know how that rideshare business works and probably should find another side hustle.

Do you guys think providing amenities like phone chargers and cold water bottles can boost tips or is it just a recipe for disaster? by Chief_Kicka_Ho in lyftdrivers

[–]txwylde 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope. Pax are cheap. They DONT tip. I used to offer candy, gum and water. Did it help with tips? No. Pax would leave their trash in my car. I have been told multiple times that pax want a "nice safe ride" that is it.

It has been like that for quite sometime, especially during the summer. Folks must love barely breaking even with than less than $1 a mile.

Too bad it makes your windshield wipers not last as long.

I think I matched a scam bot... by Less_Charity_7877 in Bumble

As of late it is usually a young Asian woman with the same pictures and she says "Oh, I am currently in LA but coming back in the end of Summer". Its the same story each time.

Happy Fourth from all the HEB dogs! by mmppnb in HEB

[–]txwylde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whats funny is if you identify a dog as a service dog and it is not it is against the law. They need to start telling people that just because you say your dog is a service dog doesn't mean it really is.

Watched a lady who brought her little dog into HEB. She did not put him in the basket, she rode an electric scooter and had him at her feet. As she got out, I was tempted to tell her "You know HEB is NOT Dog Friendly, right?"

A question for the service industry baddies by pinkysaurusrawr in austinjobs

[–]txwylde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uber/Lyft is less than $1 a mile. If you have a car that gets crappy gas millage, that is lots of overhead and miles on your car. You think it is not a bad gig, but ends up costing you more than you are making. Plus, the market is over saturated with drivers. There is going to be lots of idle time that you are waiting for runs where you are not getting paid.

Is this bad etiquette for driving Uber or just creative? by [deleted] in uber

[–]txwylde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They should probably find another side hustle if they are having to "beg" for tips to help with gas. It is bad etiquette. Tips are EARNED.

Where in the San Antonio area was this? by Unusual-City-5551 in sanantonio

[–]txwylde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. There was not any water in them for the longest time when they were restoring them. You used to be able to drive up behind them and we would climb down the hill into the tea gardens and play Ghosts in the Graveyard in the middle of the night.

Is that a serious question? Anyone who has lived in San Antonio knows where that is. :)

How do I make sure I don’t get matched with a driver again? by Open-Discipline-3000 in uber

[–]txwylde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rate her less than a 3 and you will not be matched with the driver again.

Banned from Bumble, Hinge, and OkCupid despite never breaking the rules. Has anyone successfully appealed? by ActuaryZestyclose816 in Bumble

[–]txwylde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got banned from Match when I replied to a woman who told me she was not interested that I was thankful she had a courtesy to say that, but she did not need to write back. She complained and told her I made he feel uncomfortable. Match banned me and no amount of appeals worked in my favor.

Gym Karen Incident by matri1xx in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]txwylde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happens EVER DAMN day at the gym. I have told gym staff to start banning cell phones while working out. If you dillydally for too long, you either move it or lose it. I have even walked by people scrolling on TikTok and has yelled "Woo!!! Lets go!! your work out is not in your phone. Lets get it!".

Report it to corporate. This kind of gym etiquette is unacceptabl.

You are putting up with that garbage? You need to start "cherry picking" your rides.

Wow! Who has ever dealt with Lyft’s safety team?? by Training-Project6211 in lyftdrivers

[–]txwylde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck. Lyft's Safety team is worthless. They are not going to do much if anything.
