And no more mr nice guy. The app tells you when i will be at your location, if you are not there i will give you 3 minutes and then i m rider now showing you. No sweat off my back. I will never understand how much of an asshole you have to be to not be out there when the driver arrives. Every time I've ever ordered an uber i am rushing to be outside in the eta given to me. These people will order an uber 4 minutes away and then take 15 minutes to come out. you're done. No more mints and water for you, for what Im getting a low rating regardless. No more listening to your conversation. Point a to point b and that's it no more of your little pit stops along the way for your 3 star rating ass. And for the doctors and lawyers who want to place their luggage and suit jackets down for us to put in our trunk from now on Im assuming you are placing them down on the street because you no longer want them and if you get in my vehicle we are driving off without them, because i know damn well you didn't just put them there for me to put them in my trunk. Order a limo and not an uber x. Have fun in the backseat of mr bad guy. Welcome to uber passenger hell buddy enjoy your stay.
5 minutes so you at lwast get the no show fee. If ya aint gobba wait the 5 min fpr the no show fee you might as well not wait at all.
I agree though, pax need to understand uber is meabt to be a bam bam bam, pickup, drive, drop off. There is literally zero income for waiting at pickup, barely any for stops. I make it clear if they are longer than a few minutes on a stop, ill be ending the ride.
Also pax need to learn to drop pins. Dont rely on just the addrss that may drop a pin in the middle of a building. In a downtown area that could be an entire city block. When im a pax ill zoom in and make sure my pin is exactly where ill be standing. Always got my uber without any hesitation.
It's a catch 22. Now that they give $5 for waiting 5 min, I stay. I used to leave at the 3 min mark. Considering most of my fares are short, I'll take the $5 for no miles. What I hate is when they come out right at the 4.50 min mark! Ugh! One chick did that to me. Never apologized about the wait, didn't input the address into the system, and immediately started applying her make-up in my car. RUDE!!!
That's commonplace on X. They might be more grateful if they actually had to pay you a sustainable wage, but noooo, you're basically working for free so they tend to abuse you.
USPS, Walmart, Target, Amazon, Best Buy and tons of company's are hiring.
You all should realize no one is making you do this. At another job, you'll get rich, I'm sure you won't have to answer questions, talk to people, drive your car, pay for gas, or any of the things you complain about if you simply stop driving Uber.
There it is, the solution to all of your job woes--man up and stop driving.

And all those companies are in corporate Ameruca where the name of the game is lie to your employees (sometimes by omission but still lie), screw people over by handing you the work of 5 people and not increasing your pay citing the clause in your job description that says "all other duties as assigned", and pay them the absolute minimum that they can get someone through the door for. It's the name of the game. Corporate gets rich, not employees.
So while uber may not be perfect, you won't fix the issue working elsewhere either.
I move that the uber drivers all head out of the country, lose all your documents, sneak back into the country illegally snd apply for government assistance because you're escaping oppression.
The fact that you can't tell the difference between outsourcing and job descriptions and outright lies probably strikes at part of the problem. Most employees have some recourse to change their position within a company, including negotiating for a raise given a larger workload. Try doing that with uber....
Yeah like the car sales job i work full time right? Maybe you've never driven for uber or understand a little sarcastic over dramatic post with a lot of truth in it

If you are at your pin and it notified them, then they cancel, they are charged the no show fee. I can confirm, this happened to me this weekend.
I arrive at the pin, I contact the pax. Drunk girl says they see my car, so I wait... 3 minutes, I call again she acts clueless as to who I was and hangs up on me then instantly my app shows rider cancel.
I received a no show cancel fee for it, got an immediate ping for the same group (but not the same girl) and ended up getting the fare and making more thanks to her cancellation.
Oh and btw venting like everyone in the world does doesn't mean you can't work with ppl. But man congrats to you for being the only person in the world with the patience to not complain about work. Zen life
Since you're in sales,Ricky, then you know personality and attitude are more important than the product or service you sell, in closing the deal and being successful.
And even better, you've got you're customers "in the box" while in your car. Surely you can close the deal Rain Maker.
Had a guy come out of the bar at the 3.5 minute mark...
Then proceeded to light a cigarette!
I was prepared to cancel @ 5.01 minutes while he was standing out there. I wasn't stressed or angry. He realized he was being a ah, and told me to go ahead and start the trip button while he smoked.
Should have done the cancel instead, but ran the trip.
For uber pool. The pax has 2 min when the cancel notice shows and click no show *ching ching easy $4. We shouldn't wait for anyone. I drive in Boston and these dummies order a ride in a narrow one way street with difficult parking haha. You have 2 min and I'm out. On to the next fare. We should be allowed to know where the pax is going prior of picking up. I have had many paxs with frigging luggage that are only going for a $5 dollar run ($4 for me).
