—”I know someone who was delivering for them. After several bad experiences, he quit.”
A neighbor drives in the evenings for Uber.
Now almost only long-term customers.
She enjoys it.
I often wonder of folks doing “gig” driving really make any net money taking into account the cost of miles on their vehicle?
Something I discovered about Uber. Every time I used them, I’d get a call from a driver and be asked where I was and where I was going. Finally, I asked a talkative driver why. She said, “Obviously, we only make money on longer trips.
The university students call for a ride and they want to go a few hundred or a thousand yards. Especially if it’s raining or hot. It costs more in gas to get there than we make. They never tip and they aren’t nice people.” (This was shortly after they started in Tallahassee. Don’t know if they can still do that. The driver told me they weren’t supposed to do anything of the sort. They were supposed to treat everyone equally. She snorted at that. “People are assholes and students feel entitled to everything they can get.”)
