    Uber should not allow a rider to cancel the ride once it starts, I have no idea why this is even possible. It sounds like UBER does not protect their drivers.

    • @munchkym
      @munchkym  6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Rod B. It’s possible and needs to be so drivers cannot scam riders or because drivers may pick up the wrong rider.

    • @r000tbeer
      @r000tbeer 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Most phones have GPS though, so if the requester/driver are within a couple feet of each other during the trip this means the rider is valid and should not be able to cancel.

    • @jimsautter3021
      @jimsautter3021 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I agree. I told Uber the same thing. Why can a passenger cancel mid-trip while in my car? It shouldn’t be possible. They should only be able to cancel before the trip starts. It doesn’t make sense!

    • @codmott286
      @codmott286 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      she just told you why, it's in case the wrong pax gets in the car and the driver takes off. I've had pax cancel on me 10 seconds before reaching the destination during a 2x surge ride. I just called uber, they traced the pickup and saw what the trip should have paid and reimbursed me. Dunno what happened to the pax.

      I am glad I am not the only one to notice this! I find it really funny that people who actually tip never mention it and those who say they will tip never do. While I find it funny I don't get it either. Why tell me your going to tip when your not? I don't care if you don't nor do I expect them to tip.
      If they claim that they are going to tip me because they have a request for me then thats dumb too. There are things I will do regardless whether they tip or not because I like to give good customer service. And if its a request I am not willing to do then them claiming that they will tip me is not going to change my mind.

    I only do UberEats now, but somebody tried to scam me and say I didn't deliver their food. I anticipated this happening at some point, so I downloaded a spy camera app on my phone.
    I sent Uber the video of me getting out of my car, walking to the house, ringing the doorbell, asking the customer the name on the order, the customer telling me the name, and then me handing him the bag and saying "Here is your 5 Guys order, Robert. Hope you enjoy your Cheeseburger and Fries."
    Uber gave me back the money the customer tried to scam me out of.

      Tried doing the Uber eats deliveries, It's horrible. In the last week we've had horrible thunderstorms but I still went out to make that extra money. It was a bad experience, in Miami Beach there's no parking by the restaurants you eather have to park in a parking garage or valet park. Then when you get to residential areas it's zone parking permits. So you have to leave your car double park on the street and go inside apartment buildings to wait for someone to open the gates. Someone wrote a review saying that the food looked like I tampered with it. Also that I didn't explain the food to them I delivered it and left. Well pooring rain, doubled park, person did not have the audacity to open the gates therefore I am wet and my special food bag is wet. After 10 tries I just press no thanks button and continue driving I actually make more money transporting passengers. I believe that Uber eats it's not good in all markets.

    Any location that hands out memos or flyers on how to scam drivers need to be banned as a pickup location by Uber/Lyft. Whether it be a college, law firm, park, etc. if you know any place participating in this take a copy of what there distributing, walk into your local hub and ask for one of the higher ups at that location. Also tell them that the particular location needs to be boycotted by their company. Also take it to a news outlet.

    • @munchkym
      @munchkym  6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Dano Smith There is no way they would ever do that, and I wouldn’t support such a drastic measure. But those people should be banned and Uber and Lyft should have better policies to ensure people can’t create multiple accounts.

    Great video munchkim, I actually have a lot of passengers in the Miami area that ask me to stop at a market or a liquor store so they could buy booze for their party or get together that they're going to. Sometimes I am afraid to say no because I don't want them to give me a bad review. On Friday the 6th of this month I picked up a couple on uber pool and they asked me to stop at the supermarket, they got a 12 pack of beer and a couple of bottles of wine. Like you said they will say to you they will tip you well and they don't not even give you a dime. I had a 4.91 rating until someone gave me 1 star and commented that I have a lack of professionalism. After that I stopped giving candy and little water bottles to my riders on both Lyft and Uber. I just got tired of cleaning up candy rappers and water bottles because my riders can't put the trash inside the trash I have can in the center of the car. Right now I am starting to feel that people don't care about the fact that it's your car, your insurance and I am doing this to pay my bills. Great videos I really enjoy them.

    • @munchkym
      @munchkym  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Robert Rios Yeah, I totally understand! It’s hard to balance the line to prevent being taken advantage of but also staying professional. People can be very disrespectful and not understand the other side. But I’m glad you’re still out there making that grind!

    • @rob3399905
      @rob3399905 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Over here in Miami you always see in the local news how drivers are stopping the rides and kicking customer out of their vehicles. I picked up this guys that would not put out his cigarette so I told him that I would give him a few minutes until we go. But homeboy insisted for me to put down my windows so he could smoke. I actually said no to him, I told him that this is not an uber car this is my personal car and during the day I transport my kids to school. Anyway also cigarette smell is very hard to take out of a car. So he tells me I am paying you for a service. I once again told him to smoke outside and we'll continue the ride. I noticed that he was intoxicated my whole car smelled like sweat and alcohol. All of this because I didn't want a bad review again. So like you said people are rude, they don't care but we need the extra cash. The market here in Miami and South Florida are a mix some people are really nice and respectful some are rude and think you're their personal limo driver or something, very demanding and at the end of it don't even tip you not even on the app. Some people even complain to me about how expensive Uber down here has gotten and have the odasity

    • @rob3399905
      @rob3399905 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry I had a call, but yes some people have the nerve to tell me that they don't tip cause you guys make a lot of money. Thank you for answering you are actually faster than uber answering back. Be safe and I wish you many blessings.

Another tool is the destination feture, when you are finished and heading home set the destination roughly half way to your final destination then once you get there set it again to the final destination, you will get more rides

    Pool express is in my market. Passengers save on the pool price by walking a short distance to the pick up location and may walk a short distance from the drop off location to their destination. Some passengers still expect door to door service with Pool Express.
    If a passenger leaves a child in the car at a stop, then takes a long time to handle business, it seems appropriate to call the police. That's not just inconsiderate to the driver, it's highly irresponsible and possibly neglectful to leave small children with a complete stranger like that.

      munchkym I think they often know, but just want to save money without the inconvenience. One lady called me and said she couldn't walk that far. She cancelled then requested with pool or UberX. I appreciated that. I try to work with my passengers though. I will usually pick them up when I notice them walking toward me. Or if they were at the pick up point, I will usually take them all the way if it's raining or something like that. I don't mind working with passengers as long as it's within reason. Sometimes, it's easier for ME if Ia help them out. I do think Uber needs to do something about passengers who try to exploit the express service, though.
