SO that driver just lost money to bring you to the airport. But UBER made theirs along with uncle SAM twice when he bought the gas as well and massport making theirs. So is this what you want to welcome your friends to do.

I would like to respond but I have a feeling it would go like this:

Don't care. Saved at least $11 to go to the airport.



Excatly my point I will even jump on the uber side on this. Who cares about the person getting you there as long as you get what you want. You welcome people getting cheated as long as it isn't you.

Your proving a point on your replies at the moment. You teamed up with the masses .


You act as is you are some sort of charity, providing rides for people.

You're a business, in an outdated business model, unable to adapt....and your complaint is that the "masses" the very same people you rely on for a job, are at fault because your business model sucks?

Do you shop at Wal Mart? Get gas at a gas station? What about drive through food at taco bell?

Do you care they make minimum wage? Do you still go to these places?

Just saying if you know what to expect with a service then you should take actions to make it better for yourself.

You can jump through the hoops. Or, you can choose another service that doesn't require you to jump through those hoops.

Sustaining a career as a cab driver requires you to adhere to this philosophy regarding your own clients, as does opposing Uber.

dickjones,

You fail to recognize one glaring fact when pointing out how much the UBER drivers make. THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORK FOR UBER!!! If the pay isn't good enough nobody will drive for them, thus their business will not hold up and your job is safe.

So those unhappy people can't find another job if they are too good for that one?

He's right. Why do we need to add a middle man to the equation? It's just gonna cut the cabbie pay and cost the customer more in the long run.

I've been using Über for over 3 years and I've never heard an Über driver say anything but glowing remarks from them about Über.
