“Uber really sent this message to my inbox like they think we are happy to wait for $0.19 per minute. The lady in the image seems happy that she's burning her time and gas for half a hash brown. That smile has got to be fake. Enjoy your fake breakfast. Gaslighting at its finest…”
“I wouldn't say a lot but people do tip yes but A $2 to $5 tip hitting on 20% of trips is a baseline passenger trait, not a driver-created miracle. It doesn't justify spending extra time, physical labor, or money on hospitality for the other 80% who never tip regardless of…”
“Rating: ⭐☆☆☆☆ (0/5 Stars if I could) Headline: A complete rip-off—losing money and zero driver support Do not sign up to drive for this company. Uber is a complete scam that preys on drivers. The base pay is so low that it does not even cover the cost of gas, let alone vehicle…”

“Hadn’t done uber in over a month due to the terrible bonus incentives ($15 for 30 rides). Happened to look in the inbox of my app and saw this offer. Did it in a few hours then logged back off once completed. I usually don’t…”

“I wouldn't say a lot but people do tip yes but A $2 to $5 tip hitting on 20% of trips is a baseline passenger trait, not a driver-created miracle. It doesn't justify spending extra time, physical labor, or money on hospitality for the other 80% who never tip regardless of effort. Comfort offers a negligible pay bump over standard UberX, but forces you to deal with riders who expect $100 limo treatment—demanding custom temperature settings, total silence or specific audio, and extra wait”
“Rating: ⭐☆☆☆☆ (0/5 Stars if I could) Headline: A complete rip-off—losing money and zero driver support Do not sign up to drive for this company. Uber is a complete scam that preys on drivers. The base pay is so low that it does not even cover the cost of gas, let alone vehicle maintenance, depreciation, and insurance.

Out doing UBER, because my life is that pathetic that I’m like yeah let’s go lose money doing UBER in a V8 because it’s still better than sitting at home doing nothing.
