So I was getting off a cruise this morning and I requested an Uber. Then my phone rang. It was the driver wanting to know where I was headed. I told him Cape Canaveral. He cancelled me right away.
As a fellow uber driver that is bull crap. What only the airport is good enough? I sent uber an email to report this person. And I will follow up with it. The driver that picked us up made out pretty good for the 10 minutes he worked!
Deb, you literally came here to shit on another driver. Pull up your big girl pants and suck it up. Life is not perfect. I make my money, thank you very much, and I think your attitude sucks ass. I don't think you realize that the people who work the port que have to pay out the ass to do so. Maybe your just ignorant as ****, hell if I know. But long story short, as DRIVERS we have very few points of control. If that driver flexed on you your gonna have to just suck it up and move on. If you were a "fellow driver" at all you would have recognized this.
And unless you want to share your RIDER rating. I think it would be best to chalk this up to who the hell knows. Because your persenting half the story. Ugly.
My attitude sucks ass? That's funny... Look if we all declined rides because they didn't go to the airport where would that leave everyone. There were a ton of drivers out. He could have picked up made a few bucks and then went right back. Instead chose to be an ass.
We are subcontractors free to pass up any ride we want so just suck it up and get over yourself. If you're really an Uber driver you wouldn't subject a driver in a queue to a short ride like that anyway. If anyone should know better it is a fellow uber driver. Some of us get to the port at 2am and wait until 730 or 8 to get one shot at a ride. If you can't understand that sorry on you.
Not everyone sits in the Port for five hours hoping for a good ride, people need a ride and that's what Uber is for. So because I am a driver, I shouldn't use the service? I use it alot. I guess I just am grateful for the people I pick up and I don't really have a problem with short rides, because at the end of the day it all adds up!
She's an Uber driver like half the cretins who treat you like slaves say they are. Meaning, she signed up for giggles and gave a couple rides on a whim. The rest of the drivers are trying to make a living, like any industry should provide, but it's a nightmare trying to make it happen the way this scheme is set up.
Deb, you seem to be indignant at all the wrong things. Conveniently, they're all related to your own immediate needs, and not the needs of the driver or the community as a whole. Rideshare is a parasitic scheme which seeks to devour the working-class and destroy local economies wholesale. It will eventually reach other parts of the economy like where you get your bread and butter, but by then if these schemes continue unchecked it will destroy your ability to make a livelihood, too.
And that's your prerogative. For the people that are over there half the night waiting on a ride your ride would really suck for them. So instead of jumping on a pedestal and judging them for what they do how about just getting a ride from the next driver and letting it go. Life is too short to be holding grudges over little bitty nothing's. Just my two cents. You can do what you want but as you know if you're really an Uber driver Uber is not going to do anything about it.

Both drivers and passengers have the moral right to cancel rides that they are uncomfortable doing (for whatever reason, unless it is a violation of law.)

Deb, it's called ride sharing. The driver asked where you were going, you told him, and he chose not to rideshare with you. No one owes you a ride in their car if they don't want to go where you want to go.
In this case the ride was too short for the driver, so he declined. What if you were driving and it was getting close to the time that you needed to get home. You get a ping, you meet the rider, and he tells you that he's going somewhere so far away that you will be late getting home. Your spouse needs the vehicle to get to their job, or the babysitter needs to get home, or you need to get to your full-time job and you'll be fired if you're late. Isn't it your right as a ride share driver, a subcontractor, and the owner of your car to decide what rides you wish to accept?
Think about this a little more before you continue trying to punish someone who really didn't do anything wrong or unreasonable.
He didn't want to rideshare with you. You, as a driver, have the same right to choose not to rideshare with someone at your discretion. Notice how many people have told you this already. You were wrong. You are trying to hurt a man's income. Stop. Apologize. Get over yourself.

Apologize? To who? The only thing I did was request a ride. Service sucked so I posted on here. Boo hoo. So unless you are complaining about not making money, you can't post. Whatever. Have a good night.
The other day, I had two back to back cancellations and no $...
I had driven for 5-6 miles to get to the pickup only to get canceled.
They say that you only get cancellation fee if you've been on the call for over 4 minutes.
