Yeah, I’ve fallen down that rabbit hole myself. Clicked ‘accept’, looked again and thought "Wow, that was stupid"…

An employee entitled to min wage would receive...
$313 in tax free mileage reimbursement (assumng there's no pings back to St. Pete, and assuming that he lives roughly where the ping pickup was)
6 hours 23 minutes of "pay" at $11.00 an hour. So 6.38 X $11.00 = $70.18.
So an employee entitled to min wage would receive $70.18 in taxable wages and 313 in untaxed mileage reimbursement, for a total of $383.
This lyft ping is paying 32.5% of florida min wage

Six hour round trip? I would not do that trip for less than $300

Depending on the destination I might. From where I am a trip to MSP can be good even if on the surface the trip itself is junk. There are four smaller "unicorn" communities with a dearth of drivers to mine on the way back. Some times I don’t even get to come home for a couple days.

I wasn’t going to take it no matter what, just for strategic planning purposes for tonight with my drive time, but under normal circumstances, I’d probably take that trip for about $220.

Call a cab!? No need to be ridiculous. Some Lyft driver out there will do it!!!
It's like a pay day advance loan. He may be losing money on the trip but he needs to pay that bill tomorrow!

Driver could have chilled in Miami for NYE and got paid.

True. I’m not familiar with that area though, plus like I said, I had some drive time/rest time considerations to factor in also ahead of tonight.

That's funny I was thinking about how I don't know Miami either earlier. Well, I don't know it good enough I should say.

3 hours in a car with a stranger is a hard pass for $5k.

Ha! For 5k they could sit in the back and play with themselves the whole way.
Is there a way we can get together in the North Carolina Triangle area to go on a strike of some kind? School will be back in soon and Uber and Lyft will need all of us??
Hard to believe the speed limit on the entire trip is 80mph.

Just curious.....
Could you please explain to us why it is that the person who requested the ride is a freakin' moron....or do you believe that it is he who came up with that price?
Can't wait to hear the answer on this.
