What's the hardest you've ever kissed up to a Pax and why?
Call me an oddball but I like having a good rating. Tonight I picked up a drunkish male +/- 40 yrs old. Soon into the ride, I went through a yellow traffic light, that weirdly turned red sooner than I thought it would. You know how that happens? So the Pax says, "Oh! You obviously aren't scared of the cops going through a red light like that!"
I thought, "SHIT!"
No one wants a safety complaint! Or one effin star! So I had to kiss up hard in the 8 minutes left and hope I could distract him enough with the kiss up that he would forget the red light by the end of the trip! (which wasn't a true red light but if it was in his opinion then that's the same as a red light)
...
Anyway I got him chatting up a storm and I was super interested in what he was saying and gave great concise feedback and by the end, when he got out he said, "You're definitely about the third best uber driver I've ever had, and I have taken a lot of ubers in my time."
I thought MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
Third best smh! (a bit douchy) But it still counts. I think 99% chance he forgot about the red light
so I high fived myself
