UberEats: Where they cancel your order after making you wait an hour and a half, then change your name to Bitch when you complain.
Nope, thats not the tagline for the worst Shark Tank pitch in history. Thats what actually happened to Caitlin Reardon after she placed an order for burritos.
The 25-year-old San Francisco resident told HuffPost she and her roommate ordered some Mission-style burritos for out-of-town visitors on Monday night, but grew frustrated after more than an hour of waiting.
So she did what any normal person would do, and called UberEats to see why her order had been delayed. Turns out the delivery service had canceled her order because no drivers were willing to pick it up, even though the app still showed that her food was being prepared.
UberEats suggested she try ordering again, but (snip) Reardon went with another delivery service.(snip)
Reardon provided HuffPost with a copy of her complaint to Uber:(snip)
The next day, Reardon received a reply: Hi Bitch, it began.
In response to her complaint, someone with access to Reardons Uber account had apparently changed her name on the app to Bitch.
I was shocked when I opened my email to see the Hi Bitch greeting, Reardon said. At first, I honestly thought, did I cross a line? But then I thought no, companies do not have the right to treat you this way regardless of what you may have said.
Adding insult to injury, shed ordered an Uber for her sister minutes earlier so she could get to work. That meant her sister would get a ride from a driver who would call her Bitch, mistakenly believing that was her actual first name.
I am just so upset Reardon told HuffPost. This was the last straw.

Looks like she had gone from “Hi Bitch” to “Uber Bitch.”
There was a some shop in the Chinatown part of Houston called “Bich Nguyen”. Never had a chance. There was also a Chinese joint in Florida called “KaChing”. We told them that was probably not a very good name either...don’t know if they survived.
...someone with access to Reardon’s Uber account had apparently changed her name on the app to “Bitch.”
Nope. I'm not buying it.
No one at the delivery service has that kind of access to her account.
Calling Hoax.
Maybe Uber-doober-goober whatever did her a favor.
(And you're damned right...I'll fat-shame ANYBODY...body-shame, hair-shame...don't matter...you put yourself into the public eye with all this silly-ass e-media crap, I shoot at it.)
(But then...I'm a world-class asshole, so....)
I would have cancelled the order and picked it up myself. I guess I'm not normal.
I have had several Uber rides and am impressed. One driver called me because I was 14 miles away. She said they don’t get reimbursed for mileage and some people want a three dollar ride. They don’t know where you are going until you get in the car. I told her and she picked me up. She said she never accepts a ride on the university campus as students want to go two blocks. They rate the fare so other Uber drivers are warned not to lick up cheap or troublesome customers.
We had some Korean friends when we lived in California. One day the sister of my friend wrote her a message that I saw, and signed it Bichy. I asked my friend ‘how do you pronounce your sister’s name?’.....BTW, it’s pronounced Bicky. A real name in Korea.
LOL...time to visit a judge and do the following name change:
Bichy >> Biccy
What she ought to do, instead of getting mad, is to get even with Uber by laughing at them - on social media. Make fun of their lousy app, that cannot even communicate that an order has been cancelled. Make fun of their poor hiring practices, which allow for an idiot like the one who did this to be hired, and to embarrass the company. Make fun of them for not having the guts and the decency to fire the person in question, and to apologize in a meaningful way - like free rides and/or deliveries for a year.
Go Alinsky on them - help to cost them money by making fun of them, that is the best revenge.
I like to end my sentences with the word bitch when Im hangin’ with the homies.. bitch
or Yo,, but bitch makes people listen to you more.. bitch
Yeah licking up cheap and troublesome customers doesn’t have much appeal. :)
I concur.
I’ve got a telegram here for a Mr. & Mrs. Asswipe Johnson.
When anyone refers to me in that vernacular I consider it a compliment.
Going along with the herd doesn’t make you right.
It just makes you a cow.
Now Ho Lee Phuk, that is some good Chinese food!
I've only ridden with an Uber driver once (one of several passengers and someone else called for the ride). I guess we weren't cheap or troublesome because the driver did not try to lick us up.
