July 4th weekend, i worked roughly 2.5 of the 3 day shore guarantee and had a nice $850 weekend..and on Friday of that weekend i spent last 3 hours watching netflix..
This past weekend? ZILCH.. ZERO. There was practically no surge on Uber (i didnt chexk lyft) and what surges i did see were nowhere near usual rates. So F it i didnt turn a rideshare wheel with Uber..i just cant justify .85 a mile in my head.. and $4 fares...makes me angry lol.. BUT..I have thought about trying to just take ALL pings as an experiment for a weekend and post my results here. Everything from miles driven, $ spent on gas, etc. Just to really see how bad it would be.. dunno if i will do it, i might feel like an idiot the whole weekend and end up drinking my "profits" away lol..

It was surging on the shore, just not when anyone expected it or where they expected it. I got 32% of my fares as surge with a little less than half of that on Monday night when it started raining.
