The worst Friday and Saturday I have ever seen. Virtually zero surges. Even the airport has been terrible despite the weather that rolled through. 0 cars in the lot and no surge. WTF....

I think our super admin is sleeping, might have seen her out and and around 8 am.

Put in 6.45 hrs, good for $300 off 14 rides. Lyft had a $135 for 7 ride guarantee, I did $70 between fare, tip, bonus, so Lyft gave me $65. Tips sucked balls today 5 on 14 rides, did get 4 airports with 2 rematch.

There’s manufactured home conference this week, several meetings at Brown Palace and other hotels.

I'm awake now. Not happy about it but I am.😒

Tips sucked for sure this week! A couple of nice ones but barely anyone tipped

Did any of you guys see the video from the Boulder shooting? Craziness!

Scumbag pax this morning, first ride of the morning turned into a $7.50 no show, then got a pax a couple blocks away going to Arvada (actually think I've picked her up before, based on the backseat whispers, she was about to give the bartender she was taking home the F of his life). Dropped them off, went 10 blocks to pick up my stacked ride, dropped her off, turned down the next ride as it was too far away, then the next ride popped up, 4 minutes away, no hint of a problem YET. Half way to pickup, Lyft dings "Destination updated", that should have been a red flag. Scheduled ride, I get there 4 minutes early, at exactly the 8 minute mark, pax comes out with a large duffel bag on wheels and smaller case. I'm thinking airport, ride carried a $2.50 bonus. Then reality hit, start the trip, COLORADO SPRINGS!!! Mother-F-er, the only two things that saved his punk azz from a 1 star, it was on the far north side of the springs, right off I 25, and he tipped $28 on a $57 ride. To make it worse, when we were 4 minutes from drop off, I started getting a boat load of stacked pings in the north springs area, I declined like 8 of them. The last one popped up as an airport ride, I accepted it called the pax and they were going to Colo. Springs airport so I cancelled, went offline so I could then come back online in destination mode set for DIA. That got me as far as I-25 and C470, then Lyft kicked me offline. Signed back in and got stuck in So. Aurora for an hour on shorties, was about to go offline when I got a hit at the Infiniti dealer next door to Lyft. It was a house account ride for one of their service advisors, she was going to pickup a car from a customer in Golden, brand new 2023 QX80 Sensory 4wd. At that point, I decided to call it a day, I was 7 rides in.

Lyft is offering bonuses left and right, haven't seen a single bonus on Uber all week, 9 of 13 rides carried a bonus this weekend. Still debating whether to go back out and try for another 10 rides to collect my quest bonuses

I've done 27 rides on Uber and only five didn't have a bonus. I've been getting some great tippers as well. Like in the 15 to $25 range. I had some crazy surges this morning too! I don't know what that was all about. The best part was they actually let me obtain them LOL I had one for $32! And they tipped 20!😎 the one downside was, I seemed to have a lot of no shows last night as well 🤷‍♀️

My $55 for 23 quest just isn’t going to get finished, 13+5+5, did 1 Monday and 12 between Yesterday and this morning, came home for a nap, then went back out did 5 with two quickies in Thornton then a Thornton to Golden followed by Arvada to DIA with rematch to South Aurora in just over 90 minutes. Ended with $430 for 10 hrs 53 minutes online, 9 hrs 23 minutes booked, no clue on mileage, but a lot, probably close to 500 miles, the Springs trip yesterday jacked me up. Then I lost all interest in driving. I’m off the next two weeks, but will only have a vehicle for part of it. Both vehicles go in the body shop this week, the car for two days, my pickup will be there 5 days, including over the weekend. I could put the wife’s car back on my profile, but I’m not comfortable driving it for RS anymore.

Noticed something when I did my short stint mid day today, there’s a lot more pickups doing RS than before, counted at least 15 heading to DIA, there’s at least one F150 electric doing it.
Also, the inability of people to drive at DIA is seriously getting worse, it’s not friggin’ rocket science, but god are some drivers stupid. Dropped a guy off at Delta on the west side this morning, probably 25 cars dropping at UAL, and one idiot decided to use the drop off lane as travel lane and almost hit 30 vehicles or people.

Drivers just be chilling at the drop off curb too. I don't know why but I want to run my truck into them😂
I don’t get that either, I understand if you have to rearrange something, or like last winter I rolled to the end, stopped for few to break off ice and snow, but not to sit and chill, go around to pickup if you want to chill.

things ain't right in the world when you hear an amber alert on your phone and the first thing that pops to mind is it's a 15 minute warning...
