If this is revealing personal info please let me know and I will gladly take it down.

Friday afternoon around 4PM, Sepulveda & Olympic, I receive the request below:
Note the name, rating & surge. What would you do?
Pickup the PAX and live to tell the story? Or blow him off and PRAY for another surge ping?

1.3x is not surge. Still not even the base rate in Santa Barbara.

Decline due to poor rate per mile.

Cancel . His rating/surge is too low.

Anyone who names himself that and tries to roll on uber x, the cheapest - ass private car system in CA, should be canceled out. Let him walk. A real prince would roll on LUX.

bullshit name = NO
3.9 rating = NO

and as others have mentioned 1.3 is not much of a surge.. it's not even the rate from a year ago...

See what a name of entitlement will get you.

You could pick him up and judge for yourself.

Wait till you get Mohammed Ali, its true, 4.5 took him to lax from here. I could see why his rating. But the trip went well. Or Glenford, there are two of those.
I would roll up to him with the doors locked, lower the windows and ask the pax name. If he answers with anything, but I'm a dumb @$$. I'll canceled in front of him then take a picture of his expression. A good laugh will go a long way while ubering.

See what happens when you ditch us for a plush business seat to another state? You end up in the dark.
Curiosity usually gets the best of me. I want to know what's so bad about the PAX. My imagination starts to run wild. I'm expecting to see a monster or like on the other thread where the PAX is a "B". I'm usually disappointed except for the occasional PAX that's not ready to go when i get there.

Ditto. For someone to be under a 4 and be at an odd decimal point unlike a 3.5, means this guy is a real asshole. He has done enough rides to really screw him. 1.3x? That is a pimple of a surge. I would be skipping that in about 5 seconds. My fingers would be working so fast to get that out of there. Then I would check the rider app to see what moron near me took him.

The combination of considering himself to be royal and his rating would definitely be a no-no. He is likely to royally f**k you up.

The name does not worry me.
The rating does not worry me.
Olympic and Sepulveda at 4pm scares me to death. I predict a long. short ride in traffic.

Why the hell do you log in at such a low surge? I think that's the real question that needs to be answered.
