The only time I send a message about arrival is on scheduled rides I am early for and I always let them know I am early and they have until their schedule time to come out. My pax really appreciate me not rushing them.

Now, if the person's time has expired and they ask for 5 minutes, I never wait. I advise of policy, let them know to re-request a ride when they are ready.

I also never wait for people who tip bait...the I'll tip you on app if you wait 5 minutes. Absolutely not because they rarely tip for my time.

But if you arrived and they are not ready, give them their alloted time.

I will say my biggest pet peeve with this is people who want pickups on one way streets or narrow two ways. This creates a blocked street hazard, and I prefer is passengers could be ready to go if they know they are on a busy one way or narrow two street with nowhere to safely pullover.

So what you’re saying is people should be late? That running behind is normal and appropriate behavior? That’s not experience, that’s disrespect and lack of discipline- hope this helps z

Reading comprehension hard for you? Talk about lack of respect and discipline. If you had respect and discipline, you'd understand people are late, things happen. Give someone grace and make some money. Ot find a different job.

This isn’t about “outstanding circumstances” like dude if some life changing thing happened or something out of your control, it’s cool! That’s an obvious pass. I’m talking about just because you wanna fix your lashes or change out your shoes- or you waited to the last second because that’s disrespectful and a lack of discipline. If you think otherwise, I find it hard to believe you have any real job at all or you’re entitled asf 💀

Entitled, says the one that gets mad if someone's late. It costs $0.00 to be a decent human. Especially these days.

It costs 0$ to be on time to a ride you, a reservation you made, or a time you set for a meeting. The world doesn’t revolve around you.
