probably the worst of the year...your professional non-holiday drunk can usually hold their liquor … someone who only parties occasionally and who drank WAY too much green beer, followed by shots of Jameson ....St. Paul is usually hopping for St. Pats (go figure)...good luck!

I have had 3 st patty’s pukers in 2 years.
That’s $450. I’m hoping for another one this year. 2 years ago I had one at 3pm. Cleaned it up went back out and had someone puking again by 11:30. Made just over 700 that day with 300 in cleaning fees. Last year didn’t get a puker until around 1am. Ended with 415 including 150 cleaning fee.
With a serious reduction of the promotions and this new surge I doubt it will be nearly as lucrative this year.

This will be me 4th St. Patty's day. It's crazy and fun. I grew up in St. Paul so I know most of the cheat streets to get around traffic mess. It is a great day. Will be interesting this year with new Surge. There are a lot of long rides out of there. Because people come from everywhere to party. My first year I had a puker, but we got $300 back then.

This option would be nice for A-Holes!

So far it's been a nightmare. Way worse then new years. I keep getting a bunch of entitled obnoxious st thomas kids. People have been shit faced since Noon. On the bright side I'm at $240 from 9am til bow 415pm. Gonna try to stick it out til 9pm.

just did some rides from dinkytown to st paul and then rides around all the 7th st action...i'm curious how much different the pay would've been in years past on the multiplier vs the flat surge payout; i'm done now though...when people are already drunk by early afternoon, I don't even want to see what they are like after dark

I took a few people down there but no one seemed to be drinking yet. I even took an older gentleman from Eden Prairie to Excelsior for what seemed to be a big party outside near an Irish place there. I drive 5:30 to noon and again 3-6. At $215 plus made my first level of quest.....enough for today. I guess I’m surprised how crazy this day is as it’s never been one I’ve really celebrated in any way.

I’m wondering how bad the aftermath will be in the morning when I usually drive. I’ll make sure to have some puke bags with me I guess.

$47 an hour? What market and platform? I drove X.. Had surge pretty much every ride and drove 21 trips in 7 hours.. 3 per hour avg stacked! Beat my all time record.. Getting $32/hr... That about maxes out what a driver can earn on X! Unless I drove later.. I quit at 10pm.. Great surge for a few hours.. Up to$10 I noticed.

It’s possible to gross $45+, Slyster... I did $37/hr today and had a shot at $48/hr. X only.

Since Friday was terrible for me I drove about 12 hours today-my first ever 8+ hour grind. Made $425 in 11.5 hrs online. Could’ve easily made closer to $530+ in 11 hrs if I’d been more conscientious about time management. Called it quits 3 rides short of a $60 bonus since I was knackered, coming up on the time limit and very close to home.

So, 3 rides at a super conservative $9/ride est. plus $60 bonus meant I left $90-$100 on the table tonight. All great pax tonight too, so didn’t want to tempt fate pushing for that last $100... leaves me an easy hour of driving tomorrow—$100 per hour?
