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.

    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
