The driver didn’t wait, I waited for them. Four cents is twice the cost of my brand loyalty.

I hope this starts a trend. If these greed-driven whoring corporations want to glom onto every penny they can, fuck 'em. I’m out.

      If you don’t hop in the uber at the slated time. Not sure about the posters contract or situation, but here we get 5 minutes wait time included

        Yeah 5 mins seems needed just for differences in time devices. I sorta get that charge but it sorta feels like something the rating system could handle. Time is money for the driver though but the thing is will the driver get the whole thing?

          In talking to the uber drivers they lose a lot to uber, which is stupid because uber just needs to facilitate.

          The last airport I was at there was an independent guy waiting curbside with a blacked out SUV. He was standing at the doors.
          Burly dude “Yew naid ride?”.

          Me : “yep.” (Thinking he’s the curbside assistant)

          Him: " Where you go?"

          Me: rattles off a hotel name on other side of city.

          Him: “Ged in, I take you”

          Dude drove right to it no GPS, and along the way I’m thinking we didn’t talk about price, and him and the SUV are like something from a shady underworld ring. But turned out fine, he was cheaper than uber, and no middle man skimming profits
