Surge is on it's way out as Charlotte Surge approaches...
And these dumb ass drivers/ants will still drive all over Southern California for peanuts. It's not a question anymore IF Charlotte surge is coming but WHEN. And if I do drive during that period, I'll never ever take a long trip request again

It just pisses me off to no end. WHY WHY WHY are drivers TORTURING themselves driving during morning rush in horrific traffic for base fare?? Please tell me they aren't all that stupid

Two dollars ! I want my two dollars !
Two weeks, ten papers.

Not all of them are that stupid, some are just disgustingly ignorant (the difference is subtle, to be sure)

I have to drive. At least for today because if I don't. Then I will be one with the homeless.
:(. It's time to find a more dependable job I think

I've been monitoring the app here and there the last month or so and I agree it's been bad but this is the worst I've seen yet. Pale white everywhere on a friday morning. Why would drivers just say to themselves 'ehh no biggie, I'll just drive 12 hours instead of 5 or 6 to make the same money' .. ??? Like where is the logic and mind thought in that? Drivers are either really dumb or just desperate. It's hurting me too because not that I am in a desperate state that I need to drive now but yes while my other thing is slow, i would LIKE to maybe go out and drive 4-5 hours a day and make some decent cash. But with drivers driving everywhere for base fare, It's screwing me as well because there is no damn surge anywhere. This sucks

I told you before, some have their reasons.

Nothing wrong with peanuts.
You want everyone eating pistachios and cashews?
Prices of nuts went up at Costco.

Wait for it...

Uber values your safety. We don't want to confuse you with too much information while you drive so we have eliminated certain notifications to make it easier for you to accept a trip as you move around the city.

RESOLVED.

The major problem with ants is because they drive around like mindless drones taking every base ride after another, they're almost always behind some payment trying to catch up.

So they flood the market all day and night killing the surge while wondering why they don't have any money.

We told you two weeks ago not to start driving again. Now that you had your slip, get back on the wagon. Just say "No" to ride share!

Also remember, school is now out. Morning surge is gone until September.
But taking 6-17 yr olds to Park & Rec, Sports, and Religious Camps at Base Fares will make up the difference.

Arghhh...I can't even write this sarcastic sh$#t without throwing up in my mouth.
