UberReallySucks

Discussion Starter · Sep 8, 2015

I once had the pleasure of delivering an old hag with her 3 daughters to a concert venue, where the cheapest ticket was going for 180 dollars a pop.
The conversation led us to the rates and how Uber keeps cutting them at the expense of lowering the standards and requirements to bring on new drivers.
I mentioned how a driver now is only required to have an old 2000 clunker to be an Uber Partner Driver and how that was unfair to the rest of us who had new, more comfortable, safer, and smoother rides.
You know what the old hag said?
She said: "well, you always have the option to switch to an older car."
That was mind boggling to me. I knew right there and then, that these riders could not care less about drivers dissatisfaction, or what was fair or unfair.
All they cared about is the convenience and cost of of an UBER ride... this new genius and phenomenon of an APP that allowed you to get a driver at the push of a button in minutes to your door step...
98 % of the Uber riders feel that same way. They don't give a rat's ass about the App impoverished driver. As a matter of fact, some of them even enjoy in some sort of twisted way torturing the poor guy / girl.
Those are the same 98% that never would get it through their thick skulls that it is impossible for a fare that cheap to include a gratuity... regardless of how Uber defines it; seamless - cashless etc...
You know after talking to hundreds of these self entitled idiots, I found out that there is one and only ONE thing they don't like about UBER and that's Surge pricing.
So that's what a 'rival" company should exploit against UBER: Higher standards, newer cars, straightforward fair rates, no surge pricing ever, and let's not forget an insurance that actually covers you 100% of the time all the time... not possibly or maybe...

Must be nice to be able to cancel all those type riders. I'm in a small uber market. Often i can be on line 4-5 hours from 4-9 pm and get no pings wkdays. 2 or 3 on a sunday is good. Often a fare is 15 min away unless your on the college campus which equates to 4 buck rides that are drunk wanting 4 to 5 in my 3 seat belt car.
Consider yourself lucky. If i cancelled what you do i would have nothing
