I have one, usually two extra parking passes for most games that I attend. And I NEVER use them.

How's that dictate, YC?

go frick yourself with this bull shite. I have been left outside a bar waiting on a cab by BR yellow cab 1000 times without a phone call from the operator to listen to any of this.



I went to BR once for the LSU-State game. Went to Tigerland after the game and got drunk and called a yellow cab. Needed a ride to Belle of Baton Rouge Casino and Hotel.

Cab never showed..waited on the corner for an hour with 2 of my friends. We eventually just paid some random black guy in a cadillac at the gas station 40 bucks to drive us there

This thread is awesome and the best thread I've ever seen on why Über is going to railroad Yellow Cab out of business and rightfully so.

This LINK has all you need to see why yellow can is melting the frick down and shitting their pants at someone else doing the same thing they do and getting more business than they do, except they do it better and at cheaper rates. Capitalism can be a nasty thing capable of fricking you over if you don't do a good job, aren't reliable enough and treat your customers like shite. Karma is one giant motherfricking fat and sweaty bitch and it'll come after you if you frick up enough.

Yellow cab is getting what it deserves, Über has won and it's about damn time people!!!

I hope this thread gets to 300 downvotes.

Ok. When you call them to order delivery they go off estimate wait time given by cpu. That time is determined on how long it should take to make the pizza, how far from the store you are, and how long it should take a driver. It sees driver out on a run if they are. Well lets just say that the asshat that ordered the pizza before you gave wrong address or apt #. Now that driver will have to take extra time to call you and get correct address. Time est on pizza cpu now wrong from what you was told. Now driver gets correct address and its on the other side of delivery zone. Time est getting more and more off. Driver gets there and cust left because buddy showed up and he left with him. Driver then calls back to see what's up. Time est getting off more and more. Cust who ordered pizza looks at phone knows its not the driver and decides not to answer at all. Est off more and more. Now driver has to go back to shop and get your pizza and deliver it to you. By this time you are pissed and blaming the pizza place saying you took to long and you want free pizza. Was that really the pizza places fault for going to the original address. The wrong address at that. No it wasn't. Is it the drivers fault for trying. No but you get mad at him too. Now if that guy wouldn't caused them so many problems do you think you would have gotten your pizza faster?


Dude where do you come up with this crap?!? Do you have some sort of excuse Rolodex? Why is it always the customers fault? Have you ever heard the phrase the customer is always right? It seems that YC is late every day picking up people by at least an hour! Why would you not staff up during the peak times to meet the demand?!? That is exactly what The Uber drivers will do! They will drive from 11-3 every night and make a killing. No pizza company in the world would survive with the customer service y'all have. Dominos for years and years had a 30 minute guarantee! Do you think they would do this if they could not meet their goal?!? Do you guys even have a goal?!? If you had to give free rides to customers that you were late picking up you would be bankrupt in a week!! You should've adjusted your business plan years and years ago instead of just blaming your failures on your customers! No business will succeed doing this!

No one will answer. We all know that the answer is yes. But no one will answer because it puts fault to the consumer.
