I'm amazed that doesn't backfire. Skeptical, in fact.
This has happened to me so many times, lost like $5 each time.
I would just let that ride sit and open up another app. I'm fine if the driver doesn't want to take me as a passenger, but I'm not going to take a finacial penalty to support their preferences
And you haven't reported it and gotten a refund?
No I usually kick the curb really hard and then get mad at myself for nearly breaking a toe. Rinse and repeat. I should though.
> I check the score and if they are below a 4.6 I text and inform them that THEY need to cancel and request another driver.
My response would be:
"Nah, you can cancel. I can always walk back inside the bar and grab a few more drinks, while you can't operate your source of income until you cancel."
is this a black mirror episode quotes?
Rate inflation is real...

Where did you see this?
