Long pickup. Short trip. Low pay. Low rated pax.

View attachment 687112
If it was 4 mins to pickup for a 19 mins ride - I may still cancel depending on the time of day. Like a long ride to the boonies late night that includes as many dead miles 'cos the possibility of picking up a ride on the way back is practically nil. Sorry ma'am, I'm trying to get home to walk my dog, and your ride is gonna take me another 40 miles away from home in the other direction; I'll cancel so you don't have to pay a cancelation fee. I'll eat it! No, I can no longer take long rides that make me lose money instead of making any. Yes, CR may go up - but so be it. I don't run a charity service for late-night party goers!

With drivers canceling on customers, you don’t think this has an adverse effect on the platform and customer loss and price is having to be drop to keep riders, if Uber showed the prices and distance before they’ll be people not picking up customers in cherry picking so if I was going a short distance I may not get picked up at all, the low prices are not Uber doing it the independent contractors who are failing the customers, but sometimes you do have to lower your prices during certain periods of time to get your ridership up to keep you guys working, if Uber doesn’t go back to the old way of business, they won’t be in business long dealing with independent contractors, who don’t know how to run a business.
You are full of shit! I will not even go ino why. You're just an UBER STOOGE.

Maybe. But my job is to do what's best for myself and make as much money as I can, not to do favors and take losses for total strangers. My acceptance rate is still 82%, and my cancel rate is 2%, so I am not one of those hard core cherry pickers. But if a trip doesn't work for me, I'm not doing it.
