Probably incompetence or deceit. Either way, as you say tell them to piss off.

Stops SUCK

 

Since their inception Lyft and Uber have known that drivers hate stops and they have done literally NOTHING to compensate us fairly for them. When you consider how many trips with stops get cancelled or how many passengers get attitude from the drivers, you'd think they would want to improve the situation but no, they would rather fill their pockets with loot running a garbage shit service.

 

How can I see if there is a stop in the ride before I pick them up? I have not seen that. I'm a Blue Diamond at this point. Not sure if that matters. Thanks.

 

Stops are part of the business, you just have to accept them.

But what you don't have to accept is how little your being compensated for them.

So if you have a unexpected stop just charge the customer and extra $1 per minute upfront in cash or you end the trip at the stop and move on.

Your entirely in your rights as an independent contractor. Just explain time is money and your only being paid when the wheels are moving.

They either understand or they can JUST GET THE FECK OUT!

 

Because the riders know drivers don't like multiple stops as they're not paid for it.

 

Yep. Happens often. You accept a ride and the rider minutes later add the stop, sometimes a minute or two before you show up.

That’s an auto-cancel for me, especially since we can’t even see the ride details, new upfront pay amount, or where they have us stopping.

 

If there is a change in pay, it shows up for just a second flashes on screen... if there is no change in pay... nothing shows up.

 

Actually in the taxi business pax would add stops all the time.

Really drove the dispatcher nuts. Us drivers didn't care because we charged $1 per minute, so it was like getting a free pizza, soda, coffee or pee break.

Agustis Bush of Bush Beer, actually paid me $300 to sit in the parking lot and take anyone coming out home as he got the whole bar drunk. He would give me $50 for the fare and I said "Sir the fare is only $5" and he said "No it's fifty" and I said "Yes sir!" 😆

Pissed off the dispatcher but I told him to call the boss, I was making more money sitting in the parking lot than driving and the boss agreed. 😆

My first Friday night as a cab driver and I bank over $600 off this guy. 😊

 

What exactly do they save if they add the stop later? I have never ordered an uber... so why can't they add the stop when they order it?

A lot of drivers won't accept pings with stops so they add them after you accept our after you pick up thinking you are trapped. I don't do stops so I simply cancel or wait out the time while hiding around the corner.

 

They add the stop because a lot of drivers will refuse a ride if they know up front there is multiple stops. It sucks waiting for a customer when they go into a store and Uber pays Pennie’s for wait time.

 

I'm to the point where I back button to the pickup and drop off screen. If that changes I cancel.

I literally drove up heard the ping saw the change canceled and drove off.

From 2:30 to 4:30 I enlarged the screen where the drop off is if it's a school. Cancel

On shared rides I put stop new requests after I pick up the first one.

Never accept trip longer than 2 miles away.

 

stops ... I have seen someone get charged over $10 more and yet I only received # $2

You're lucky you even got that much.

Stops are part of the business, you just have to accept them.

No I don't.

.

& in the taxi biz., you actually get paid for 'em.

 

Pax that add a stop after pickup seldom tip. Pax that ask for a quick stop will usually tip . If you add a stop when I am on my way to pick you up, you will be instantly canceled. I'm not your servant and will not play your silly game.
