I get a 1.7 surge uberpoop. The pax calls me and says are you coming? Yeah, as soon as the light changes.I get to pin, no one there, then I swing by the in and out burger and there they are...two girls. Then I take them to there destination, and the one girl says ohhh its just at the end of the street, which means I am driving for free for another half a mile, if I say your pin is here this is as far as I can get paid, I will get a bad rating. So I take them to the end and 3 star their asses.

I don't like pool requests or pool rates, but...you were wrong. If you drove another half a mile, you were paid for the additional distance and time. If Uber had detected you dropped off the passengers at a different location, that would have cancelled their upfront fare guarantee and they would have paid extra. But whether Uber detected their little scam, or not, you are always paid based on your actual time and distance.

I was under the impression that with pool rides you cant change destination or no stops, that it is a fixed rate what they pay.

The rider is not supposed to change the final destination. But, drivers don't want the job of playing policeman, risking confrontation or a bad rating. It usually would be better to just bring them to their final destination if it's not too different from the original destination. All this assumes it's not a matched ride. If there are other passengers in the car, it can complicate things.
